Item 1.03 |
Bankruptcy and Receivership |
As previously disclosed, on June 18, 2014, Kid Brands, Inc. (the
Company) and certain of its U.S. subsidiaries (collectively with the Company, the Debtors) each filed a voluntary petition for relief (the Bankruptcy Filing) under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code
(the Bankruptcy Code) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey (the Bankruptcy Court). Also as previously disclosed, on July 27, 2014, Sassy, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company
(Sassy), entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the Sassy Agreement), dated as of July 25, 2014, with Sassy 14, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the Sassy Purchaser), and Angelcare Monitors,
Inc., a Canadian corporation (Angelcare), whereby, as authorized under Sections 105, 363 and 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, Sassy would sell to the Sassy Purchaser, and the Sassy Purchaser would purchase from Sassy, certain assets of Sassy
(the Sassy Assets) and other assets of affiliates of Sassy used primarily in the operation of Sassys business of designing, importing, marketing and distributing certain branded infant and juvenile products, including developmental
toys and feeding, bath and baby care items (the Sassy Business).
On August 18, 2014, Sassy completed the sale of the Sassy Assets (the
Sale) to the Sassy Purchaser for an aggregate purchase price of $12,500,000, plus certain assumed liabilities to be made by Purchaser up to a maximum of $300,000 (the Purchase Price). The Sale was made pursuant to an amended
and restated Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of July 25, 2014 (as amended, the Amended Sassy Agreement), and a Corrected Amended Order of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey (the Bankruptcy
Court), dated August 19, 2014 (the Order). In the Sale, the Purchase Price was paid to a bank account under the control of Salus Capital Partners, LLC (Salus), as agent for the lenders party to that certain
Debtor-in-Possession Credit Agreement dated as of June 18, 2014 by and among Sassy, its affiliate guarantors, Salus and the other lenders party thereto. Pursuant to the Amended Sassy Agreement, the parties also executed an amended Transition
Services Agreement (the Amended Transition Agreement) pursuant to which, in addition to certain transition services provided to each party thereunder, the parties agreed: (i) to share in the proceeds from the sale of certain
licensed inventory, with 70% of such proceeds (after storage and other costs) being disbursed to Sassy (subject to a hold-back of certain amounts until December 31, 2014 in respect of certain potential claims of the Sassy Purchaser), and 30% of
such proceeds being disbursed to the Sassy Purchaser; and (ii) that Sassy would retain certain other licensed inventory, which Sassy currently intends to sell for its own account.
A copy of the Order, approving the sale of the Sassy Assets pursuant to the Amended Sassy Agreement, is attached to this Report as Exhibit 99.1 and is
incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Amended Sassy Agreement and Amended Transition Agreement is only a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the terms of the Amended Sassy Agreement and Amended
Transition Agreement attached as Exhibit A to the Order.

IT IS HEREBY FOUND AND DETERMINED THAT:
A. Jurisdiction and Venue. This Court has jurisdiction to consider the Sale Motion and the Sale, including the transactions contemplated
by the Agreement, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 157(b)(1) and 1334(a) and the Standing Order of Reference to the Bankruptcy Court Under Title 11 dated as of September 18, 2012 (Simandle, C.J.). This is a core proceeding pursuant to
28 U.S.C. § 157(b)(2)(A), (N) and (O). Venue of these cases and the Sale Motion in this District is proper pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1408 and 1409.
B. Statutory Predicates. The statutory and other legal predicates for the relief sought in the Sale Motion are sections 105(a), 363 and
365 of the Bankruptcy Code, Bankruptcy Rules 2002, 6004, 6006 and 9014, and Local Rules 6004-1 and 6006-1.
C. Final Order. This
Sale Order constitutes a final and appealable order within the meaning of 28 U.S.C. § 158(a). Notwithstanding Bankruptcy Rules 6004(h) and 6006(d), the Court expressly finds that there is no just reason for delay in the implementation of this
Sale Order, and expressly directs entry of judgment as set forth herein.

D. Notice. As evidenced by the affidavits and/or certificates of service previously
filed with the Court, the Application to Shorten Time filed on July 28, 2014 [Docket No. 186], the Order Shortening Time entered by this Court on July 28, 2014 [Docket No. 187] and the representations of counsel at the Sale
Hearing: (1) good and sufficient cause exists to shorten the time period required Bankruptcy Rule 2002 or other rule for notice of hearing on the Sale Motion, the Sale Hearing, and all related transactions collectively described in the
Agreement (the Sale and all such transactions being collectively referred to as the Transactions), (2) under the circumstances of the Chapter 11 Cases, proper, timely, adequate and sufficient notice of the Sale Motion,
the Sale Hearing, and the Transactions has been provided by the Debtors to parties entitled to notice; (3) such notice, and the form and manner thereof, was good, sufficient and appropriate under the circumstances; and (4) no other or
further notice of the Sale Motion, the Agreement, the Transactions or the Sale Hearing shall be required.4
E. Opportunity to Object. A reasonable opportunity to object or be heard with respect to the Sale Motion and the relief requested
therein has been afforded to all interested persons and entities.
F. Sale is Appropriate. The Transactions are authorized pursuant
to Bankruptcy Code section 363(b)(1). The Transactions represent the sound business judgment of the Debtors and are appropriate in light of the facts and circumstances surrounding the Transactions and the Debtors Chapter 11 Cases because
(1) the Transaction will result in the best value received for the Purchased Assets and (2) the terms of the sale were negotiated at arms length with Purchaser. The record of these proceedings indicates that the Debtors have incurred
and continue to incur substantial financial losses and that absent a timely sale of the Purchased Assets, the value of the Debtors assets, including the Purchased Assets, would be substantially diminished.
4 |
To the extent service was made later than as was directed in the Order Shortening Time on certain parties as set forth in the various affidavits of service, said service is specifically found to be sufficient.

G. Corporate Authority. Seller has full corporate power and authority to execute the
Agreement and all other documents contemplated thereby, and to consummate the Transactions.
H. Business Justification. The Debtors
have (1) articulated good, sufficient and sound business reasons for consummating the Agreement, the sale of the Purchased Assets and the Transactions; (2) appropriately exercised their business judgment by entering into the Transactions;
and (3) demonstrated compelling circumstances for entry into the Transactions pursuant to Bankruptcy Code section 363(b)(1), in that, among other things, the immediate approval by the Court of the Transactions with Purchaser is necessary and
appropriate to maximize the value of the Debtors estates.
I. Best Interests. Approval of the Agreement and the consummation
of the Transactions are in the best interests of the Debtors, their estates, their creditors and other parties in interest.
J.
Opportunity to Submit Higher or Better Offers. A reasonable opportunity to submit higher or better offers has been afforded to all interested persons and entities.
K. Highest or Otherwise Best. As demonstrated by (1) the testimony and/or other evidence proffered or adduced at the Sale Hearing;
and (2) the representations of counsel made on the record at the Sale Hearing, Purchasers offer for the purchase of the Purchased Assets and assumption of the Assumed Liabilities as set forth in the Agreement is fair and reasonable and
constitutes the highest or otherwise best offer for the Purchased Assets.

L. Arms Length Transaction and Purchasers Good Faith. The Agreement was
negotiated, proposed and entered into by Seller and Purchaser from arms-length bargaining positions, without collusion, in good faith within the meaning of Bankruptcy Code section 363(m). Purchaser is not an insider of the Debtors,
as that term is defined in Bankruptcy Code section 101(31). The Agreement was not entered into, and neither Seller nor Purchaser have entered into the Agreement, or propose to consummate the Transactions, for the purpose of hindering, delaying or
defrauding creditors of the Debtors under the Bankruptcy Code or under the laws of the United States, any state, territory, possession thereof, or the District of Columbia. Neither Seller nor Purchaser have entered into the Agreement or is
consummating the Transactions with any fraudulent or improper purpose.
M. No Liability Under Section 363(n). Neither Seller
nor Purchaser have engaged in any conduct that would cause or permit the Agreement to be avoided under Bankruptcy Code section 363(n). Specifically, Purchaser has not acted in a collusive manner with any person and the purchase price was not
controlled by any agreement with unrelated third parties.
N. Free and Clear. The Purchased Assets constitute property of
Sellers estate and title thereto is vested in Sellers estate within the meaning of Bankruptcy Code section 541(a). Except as provided in the Agreement, the transfer of the Purchased Assets will be a legal, valid, and effective transfer
of the Purchased Assets, and will vest Purchaser with all right, title, and interest of Seller in and to the Purchased Assets, pursuant to Bankruptcy Code sections 105(a) and 363(f), free and clear, to the fullest extent available under the
Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable law, of all Encumbrances (as that term is defined in the Agreement), and all

Excluded Liabilities (excluding the Assumed Liabilities) are hereinafter collectively referred to as the Encumbrances), because, in each case, one or more of the
standards set forth in Bankruptcy Code section 363(f)(1)-(5) have been satisfied. The DIP Agent has consented to the Sale. Those other holders of Encumbrances on the Purchased Assets who did not object (or who withdrew their objections) to the
Sale Motion or the Transactions are deemed to have consented to the Sale Motion and the Transactions pursuant to Bankruptcy Code section 363(f)(2). Those holders of Encumbrances on the Purchased Assets who did object fall within one or more of the
other subsections of Bankruptcy Code section 363(f) and are adequately protected by having their Encumbrances on the Purchased Assets attach to the remaining proceeds of the Sale, if any, ultimately attributable to the Purchased Assets against or in
which such Encumbrances are asserted, subject to the terms of such Encumbrances, with the same validity, force and effect, and in the same order of priority, which such Encumbrances now have against the Purchased Assets or their proceeds, subject to
any rights, claims and defenses the Debtors or their estates, as applicable, may possess with respect thereto. Except as specifically provided in the Agreement, all persons and entities asserting or holding any Encumbrances in or with respect to the
Purchased Assets (whether legal or equitable, secured or unsecured, matured or unmatured, contingent or non-contingent, senior or subordinated), howsoever arising, shall be forever barred, estopped, and permanently enjoined from asserting,
prosecuting or otherwise pursuing such Encumbrances against Purchaser.
O. Injunction. An injunction against creditors and third
parties pursuing the Encumbrances is necessary to induce the Purchaser to close under the Agreement; the issuance of such an injunction is therefore necessary to avoid irreparable injury to the Seller and Debtors estates, and will benefit all
creditors.

P. No Successor Liability. Except with respect to the Purchasers obligations
under the Agreement, neither (a) the transfer of the Purchased Assets to Purchaser nor (b) the assignment by Seller to Purchaser of the Designation Rights nor (c) assumption of the Assumed Agreements will subject Purchaser and/or its
affiliates, designees, successors, assigns, officers, directors, members, employees, equity holders, assets (including the Purchased Assets) or properties to any liability by reason of such transfer or assignment and assumption under the laws of the
United States, any state, territory, or possession thereof, or the District of Columbia, based, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, on any theory of law or equity, including, without limitation, any theory of antitrust or successor or
transferee liability or otherwise. The Seller and Purchaser are exempt from and excused from complying with any laws or regulations requiring notice to any taxing authority of any jurisdiction prior to, or other laws that might, directly or
indirectly, affect consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement or the relief requested in the Motion and the provisions of this Order, without excusing the Purchaser or Seller from any obligations for payment of any taxes or
charges arising from such transfer.
Q. Legal and Factual Bases. The legal and factual bases set forth in the Sale Motion and at the
Sale Hearing establish just cause for the relief granted herein.
R. Validity of Transfer. As of the Closing, the transfer of the
Purchased Assets to Purchaser will be a legal, valid and effective transfer of the Purchased Assets, and will vest Purchaser with all right, title and interest of the Debtors in and to the Purchased Assets, free and clear of all Encumbrances on the
Purchased Assets.

become Purchased Assets, Assumed Agreements, and to the extent excluded, shall continue to be Excluded Assets and thereby be excluded from the Purchased Assets; provided that such inclusions or exclusions shall not result in a Purchase Price
adjustment; provided, further, that the Sale Order shall also extend the time under section 365(d)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code consistent with this provision. The Designation Period may be extended by order of the Bankruptcy Court. For
the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser shall not acquire any Designation Rights with respect to Contracts executed by KID Group, even to the extent used in the Business, provided that the parties shall arrange in good faith, in the Transition Services

CONSIDERATION
3.1
Consideration.
(a) The aggregate consideration for the Purchased Assets (the Purchase Price) shall be equal to
(i) the sum of (A) Fourteen Million and No/100 ($14,000,000.00) Dollars, (B) all Cure Amounts and Employee Costs, up to the Cap Amount and with respect to Cure Amounts in excess of the Excess Cure Cap Amount, and (C) an amount
equal to any deposits or other payments related solely to manufacturing orders made by Seller after the execution of this Agreement and before the Closing Date in respect of Inventory (and associated shipping or freight charges), to the extent that
Purchaser consented to such deposits or other payments, which deposits or payments set forth on a revised Schedule 3.1 at Closing, subject to Proration and the Purchase Price Adjustment set forth in this Section 3.1 (the
Cash Price), (ii) the assumption of the Assumed Agreements, and (iii) the assumption of post-petition obligations for post-petition contracts of Seller assigned to Purchaser.
(b) For the avoidance of doubt, all payments by Purchaser in respect of Assumed Real Property Leases, including Security Deposits, are included
in the Cash Price.
(c) Proration. At Closing, with respect to all Assumed Real Property Leases, the Parties shall apportion all
utility charges and, in accordance with Section 10.l, real estate Taxes.
(d) Working Capital Holdback. At Closing, the
Cash Price paid to Seller shall be reduced by an amount equal to $2,000,000.00 (the Holdback) and such Holdback shall be delivered to Escrow Agent (as defined herein), subject to the terms of Section 3.1(e).
(e) Purchase Price Adjustment.
(i) Estimated Working Capital Adjustment. The Parties agree that the working capital balance as of the Closing Date shall be an amount
equal to $7,300,000.00 (the Estimated Working Capital Balance).
(ii) Post-Closing Adjustments. As promptly as
practicable, but in no event later than forty-five (45) days following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall cause to be determined the aggregate amount of Accounts Receivable plus Inventory as of the Closing Date (the Closing Date Working
Capital Balance), determined in accordance with GAAP and with past practice of Seller (including the valuation of Inventory at fully loaded cost) (provided that Accounts Receivable whose aging is beyond 90 days shall be valued at 30
percent of gross amount and any receivable deemed to be uncollectable shall be valued at zero) by retaining an independent inventory taking service provider mutually selected by Purchaser and Seller on or before the Closing Date to perform such
calculation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Closing Date Working Capital Balance shall be increased by an amount equal to all payments made by Seller prior to the Closing Date in respect of Inventory (and associated shipping
and freight charges), to the extent that such Inventory remains in transit or otherwise is not included in Inventory on Sellers balance sheet as of the Closing Date; provided that no such

Donald H. Steckroth August 19, 2014

adjustment shall be made to the Closing Date Working Capital Balance if such amount resulted in an add-back to the Cash Purchase Price pursuant to Section 3.1(a)(i)(C). The Closing
Date Working Capital balance shall be subject to Sellers approval, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The cost of the Inventory taking shall be divided equally between Seller and Purchaser. If the Closing Date Working Capital Balance
is less than the Estimated Working Capital Balance, the Cash Price shall be adjusted downward on a dollar for dollar basis by the amount of such difference. Any adjustments to the Cash Price made pursuant to this Section 3.1(e)(ii) shall
be made within sixty (60) days of the Closing Date. If the adjustment contemplated hereby requires payment to be made by Seller to Purchaser, Escrow Agent shall, promptly upon receipt of Notice from the Parties make such payment to Purchaser by
wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in advance in writing by Purchaser. In such event, Escrow Agent shall release the balance of the Holdback to Seller less the Indemnity Claim Holdback (defined below). If
the Holdback is not sufficient to satisfy such adjustment, Seller shall promptly pay the balance to Purchaser. If the adjustment contemplated hereby does not require payment to be made by Seller to Purchaser, Escrow Agent shall, promptly upon
receipt of Notice from the Parties, release the Holdback to Seller less the Indemnity Claim Holdback (defined below).
(iii) Indemnity Claim Holdback.
(A) Upon Escrow Agents release of the balance of the Holdback to Seller pursuant to Section 3.1(e)(ii),
Escrow Agent shall retain $425,000 (or said lesser amount as is available if more than $1,525,000 has been paid to Purchaser as a result of Section 3.1(e)(i),(ii), or (iii)) of such balance (the Indemnity Claim
Holdback), which may be used to satisfy the dollar amount of any damages to which Purchaser is entitled from Seller in respect of a Purchaser Claim (defined below) that has been finalized under this Section 3.1(e)(iii).
(B) In the event that Purchaser determines that it has a claim for any damages against Seller including but not limited to
(i) Sellers obligations to make payments in excess of the Cap Amount, up to an aggregate amount not to exceed the Excess Cure Cap Amount, (ii) Sellers obligations to make payments on post-petition contracts being assumed by
Purchaser of obligations up to the Closing Date, (iii) any claim for substantial contribution allowed pursuant to Section 7.2, (iv) Sellers obligations to make payments of obligations up to the Closing Date on executory
contracts and real property leases whose rights were designated by Purchaser or are Assumed Contracts, or (v) the Transition Services Agreement (each, a Purchaser Claim), Purchaser shall give prompt written notice, which may
be made by a ten (10) day negative notice, thereof to Seller specifying the amount of such claim, the section of this Agreement (or such other agreement) under which such claim arises, as applicable, the facts and circumstances giving rise to
such claim, and any other relevant information relating thereto (a Purchaser Claim Notice). Purchaser and Seller shall negotiate in good faith for a ten (10) day period beginning on the date Purchaser provides a Purchaser
Claim Notice to Seller hereunder regarding the resolution of the Purchaser Claim that is the subject thereof. If no resolution is reached with regard to such Purchaser Claim between Seller and Purchaser within such ten (10) day period,
Purchaser shall be entitled to seek appropriate remedies in accordance with the terms hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Purchaser may issue a Purchaser Claim Notice at any time to Seller even if the payment pursuant
to Section 3.1(e)(ii) has not been made and such Purchaser Claims may be paid from the Holdback.

(C) Promptly following a final determination of the amount of any damages
claimed by Purchaser pursuant to a Purchaser Claim by either (1) a final non-appealable decision, judgment or award rendered by a Governmental Body of competent jurisdiction, (2) the mutual agreement by Seller and Purchaser or (3) the
failure to object in good faith to a Purchaser Claim after service of Purchaser Claim Notice, Seller shall pay (or shall instruct Escrow Agent to disburse to Purchaser) such damages to Purchaser by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an
account designated by Purchaser.
(D) Upon the earlier of (1) the expiration or termination of the Transition
Services Agreement or (2) December 31, 2014, provided that no Purchaser Claim is then pending (in which case, a portion of the Indemnity Claim Holdback equal to the estimated amount of such pending Purchaser Claim shall continue to be held
in escrow by Escrow Agent until the final resolution thereof), Escrow Agent shall release the balance of the Indemnity Claim Holdback to Seller.
(E) Any claims by Purchaser for amounts owed by Seller pursuant to the Agreement not paid from the Holdback (including
Indemnity Claim Holdback) shall be deemed allowed chapter 11 administrative claims. The existence of the Holdback (including the Indemnity Claim Holdback) shall not otherwise relieve the Debtors of their obligations to perform the requirements under
the Agreement when due or Purchasers right to seek such performance.
3.2 Purchase Price Deposit. Purchaser shall deliver to
Seller cash equal to One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) (such amount, together with any interest accrued thereon prior to the Closing Date, the Deposit) within two (2) Business Days after the date hereof, which Deposit shall
be held by Lowenstein Sandler LLP (the Escrow Agent) pursuant to a separate escrow agreement (the Escrow Agreement) to be agreed upon by the Parties and applied as follows:
(a) if the Closing shall occur, then the Deposit shall be applied towards the Cash Price and paid over to Seller at the Closing;
(b) if this Agreement is terminated for any reason other than Purchasers default as set forth in Section 4.4, then the
Deposit shall be paid promptly to Purchaser in accordance with Section 4.5; and
(c) if this Agreement is terminated due to
Purchasers default as set forth in Section 4.4, then the Deposit shall be retained by Seller as liquidated damages and the Parties shall have no further liability hereunder.
If the Deposit is not delivered within two (2) business days after the date hereof, then Seller may terminate this Agreement at any time
prior to the delivery of such Deposit.

right of such Permitted Access Parties to copy, at such Permitted Access Parties expense, such required documents and records and (y) the Purchasers copying and delivering to the relevant Permitted Access Parties such documents or

with said written notice required pursuant to this Section, an estimate of the amount of time required for such access, and provided, further, that if Purchaser spends in excess of five (5) hours per week for a period of six
(6) months from Closing responding to Sellers request, Seller shall pay to Purchaser an amount equal to $75 per hour for each hour thereover. In the event the delivery of any such requested documents or records requires the assistance of
Purchasers counsel, Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for all reasonable attorneys fees and costs associated therewith. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 8.7, no access to, or examination of,
any information or other investigation shall be permitted to the extent that it would require disclosure of information subject to attorney-client or other privilege.

8.8 Employees and Employee Benefit Plans.
(a) Transferred Employees. During the Designation Period and pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement, Purchaser shall offer to
employ those employees of Seller necessary or appropriate, in Purchasers discretion, to own, operate and manage the Business and other Purchased Assets, including employees on approved leave of absence), as well as personnel of I&J Quality
Consulting (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd., a wholly foreign owned entity organized under the laws of the Peoples Republic of China (and Seller shall cause I&J Quality Consulting (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. to consent to such offer of employment), with
employment commencing upon the offer of such employment. During such period, Purchaser shall reimburse Seller for wages, salary, benefits and other out-of-pocket costs, in the ordinary course consistent with past practice, of employees post-closing
up until such time that said employees become Transferred Employees, as further delineated in the Transition Services Agreement. All such offers of employment shall be at the annual or hourly rate of pay, and with comparable opportunity to receive
incentive or performance pay, at which such employees were employed immediately prior to the Closing. Those employees who accept the Purchasers offer of employment and commence working for the Purchaser (or upon return to work from approved
leave of absence) shall hereafter be referred to as Transferred Employees. Such Transferred Employees shall receive benefits and be covered by employment policies on substantially similar terms and conditions as provided by Seller
prior to the Closing Date. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such employee benefits shall include eligibility to participate in medical and health insurance plans and 401(k) or retirement plans under plans sponsored by the Purchaser
commencing September 1, 2014.
(b) Credit Under Purchaser Plans. The Purchaser will cause any employee benefit plans of the
Purchaser (or any Affiliate thereof sponsoring or maintaining such plans) which the Transferred Employees are entitled to participate in from and after the Closing Date (the Purchaser Plans) to take into account for purposes of
eligibility and vesting thereunder, but not with respect to accrual of benefits, service by the Transferred Employees with Seller prior to the Closing as if such service were with the Purchaser, to the same extent such service was credited under a
comparable benefit plan of Seller prior to the Closing (except to the extent it would result in the duplication of benefits). In addition, with respect to each Purchaser Plan that is a welfare benefit plan (as defined in
Section 3(1) of ERISA), the Purchaser shall, or shall cause an Affiliate of the Purchaser sponsoring or maintaining such Purchaser Plan, to (i) cause there to be waived any pre-existing condition exclusions, actively at work requirements,
insurability requirements or other eligibility limitations to the extent such exclusions, requirements or limitations were waived or were inapplicable under a comparable Benefit Plan of Seller prior to the Closing, and (ii) give effect, in
determining any deductible, co-insurance and maximum out-of-pocket limitations, to claims incurred and amounts paid by, and amounts reimbursed to, the Transferred Employees and their dependents under a comparable Benefit Plan of Seller prior to the
Closing.
(c) Effective as of the Closing Date, all Transferred Employees shall cease to participate in any Seller Benefit Plan qualified
pursuant to Section 401(a) of the Code, and no further employer contributions shall be credited to the accounts of Transferred Employees under any such Seller Benefit Plan, except as may be required by the terms of such Plan. Effective as of
the Closing Date, Seller shall fully vest the account balances of the Transferred Employees under any Seller Benefit Plan. As soon as practicable after, and effective as of, the Closing Date, Purchaser shall establish a defined contribution plan
described under Section 401(k) of the Code for the benefit of the Transferred Employees or permit the Transferred Employees to participate in a 401(k) plan that the Purchaser presently maintains (Purchasers 401(k)
Plan). For purposes of eligibility and vesting, Purchasers 401(k) Plan shall credit all service accrued by the Transferred Employees under any Seller Benefit Plan through the Closing Date. As soon as practicable following the Closing
Date, Seller shall transfer the account balance of each Transferred Employee under its 401(k) Plan, including notes evidencing loans to the Transferred Employee, and Purchaser shall assume all liability with respect to the amount transferred which
shall be deposited with the trustee of the Purchasers 401(k) Plan. The amount of the transferred account balances shall be determined as of the Closing Date, adjusted for any income, gains or losses properly allocable to each such account from
the Closing Date to the Business Day immediately preceding the asset transfer.

(d) Employment Tax Reporting. With respect to Transferred Employees, the Purchaser and
Seller shall use the standard procedure set forth in Revenue Procedure 2004-53, 2004-34 I.R.B. 320, for purposes of employment tax reporting.
(e) No Obligation. Other than as expressly set forth herein, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to require the
employment of (or prevent the termination of employment of) any individual, require minimum benefit levels or prevent any change in the employee benefits provided to any individual Transferred Employee. No provision of this Agreement shall create
any third party beneficiary rights in any employee or former employee of Seller or any other Person (including any beneficiary or dependent thereof) of any nature or kind whatsoever, including without limitation, in respect of continued employment
(or resumed employment) for any specified period. Nothing in this Section 8.8 is intended to interfere with the Purchasers right from and after the Closing to terminate the employment of, or change the compensation and benefits
available to, any Transferred Employee.
8.9 Service of Notice. Seller shall have properly served on all parties in accordance with
all applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure, the Local Bankruptcy Rules for the District of New Jersey, the Agreement and any order of the Bankruptcy Court the Sale Motion, a proposed Sale Order and the
Supplement (including, without limitation, all Sellers creditors, all parties to the Assumed Agreements, Contracts, Real Property Leases, post-petition open purchase orders, any counterparty to any Account Receivable, any counterparty to any
Intellectual Property Contract, the counterparty to the Microsoft AX software Contract and related agreements, any party on a list of Sellers accounts payable, Kid Brands creditors, any and all of Sellers employees and all Persons
who would appear on any search conducted to determine those Persons asserting a Lien, Interest or Encumbrance on Sellers Assets or having the potential to assert a claim for set-off and/or recoupment).
8.10 Damage or Destruction. Until the Closing, the Purchased Assets shall remain at the risk of Seller. In the event of any material
damage to or destruction of any of the Purchased Assets after the date hereof and prior to the Closing (in any such case, a Damage or Destruction Loss), Seller shall give notice thereof to Purchaser. If any such Damage or
Destruction Loss is covered by policies of insurance and is not repaired or replaced by a similar facility in reasonable proximity to any former facility, all right and claim of Seller to any proceeds of insurance for such Damage or Destruction
Loss, unless previously received by Seller and used prior to the Closing Date to repair any damage or destruction, shall be assigned and paid to Purchaser at Closing in accordance with Section.

hereunder. Seller shall not assert any claim against Mr. Robinson in connection with his involvement with Purchaser and the Transaction. In the event of a Termination, Seller and Mr. Robinson reserve any and all rights in connection with
Sellers assertion that Mr. Robinson is bound to any non-competition agreement. In the event Purchaser closes on the Transaction, Seller and Affiliates of Seller shall assign to Purchaser and shall cause its Affiliates to assign to
Purchaser, who shall so acquire any and all claims against Mr. Robinson, including without limitation, all rights and claims of Seller and Affiliates of Seller against Mr. Robinson under non-disclosure or confidentiality, non-compete, or
non-solicitation agreements with Dean F. Robinson.

Bankruptcy Court (it being understood that Seller shall refrain from seeking any authorization from the Bankruptcy Court to take any actions outside the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice or otherwise in noncompliance with
this Section 8.12, without the prior consent of Purchaser, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), as required by applicable Law, or as otherwise consented to in writing by Purchaser (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), during the period commencing on the date of this Agreement and continuing through the Closing or the earlier termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, Seller shall use its
commercially reasonable efforts to: (i) operate the Business in the ordinary course of business, consistent with past practice, (ii) preserve in all material respects the Purchased Assets (excluding sales of Inventory in the ordinary
course of business) and (iii) preserve its current relationships with the suppliers, vendors, customers, clients, contractors and others having business dealings with the Business; provided that each of clauses (i) through (iii) above
shall take into account, in each case, the commencement of the Bankruptcy Case and the fact that the Business is operating while in bankruptcy.
8.13 Exclusivity and Consent to Sale Order. Subject to any order or direction of the Bankruptcy Court to the contrary, Seller agrees
that Seller shall not actively solicit, pursue, or negotiate any offer from a third party in connection with the Transaction as contemplated hereunder; provided, however, that nothing herein shall prohibit Seller from responding to inquiries or
diligence requests received from other potentially interested purchasers or providing access to (including updating as appropriate) the virtual data room to potentially interested purchasers and provided further that such obligations of Seller shall
automatically terminate if directed by the Bankruptcy Court that compliance therewith would violate any fiduciary duty. Seller further agrees that Purchaser shall have a right to consent to the form and content of the motion to approve the
Transaction, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

the Closing Date, except to the extent expressly made as of an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date, provided, however, that this condition
precedent to Closing shall be deemed satisfied unless the failure of such representations and warranties to be so true and correct in all material respects would reasonably be expected to have, in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on
Purchasers ability to consummate the Transactions; and Seller shall have received a certificate signed by an authorized officer of Purchaser, without personal liability to the executing officer, dated on the Closing Date, to the effect that
the condition set forth in this paragraph (a) has been satisfied;
(b) Purchaser shall have performed and complied in all material

(c) Purchaser shall have delivered,
or caused to be delivered, to Seller all of the items set forth in Section 4.3.

Purchaser and Seller. The respective obligations of Purchaser and Seller to consummate the Transactions are subject to the fulfillment, on or prior to the Closing Date, of each of the following conditions (any or all of which may be waived by

(a) there shall not be in effect any Order by a Governmental Body of competent jurisdiction
restraining, enjoining, or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the Transactions; and
(b) the Sale Order shall have become a Final
Order (unless Purchaser waives the requirement that said Sale Order be final and non-appealable), remain in full force and effect and shall not have been stayed, vacated, modified, or supplemented in any material respect without the prior written
consent of Purchaser and Seller.
9.4 Frustration of Closing Conditions. No party may rely on the failure of any condition set forth
in Section 9.1, 9.2, or 9.3, as the case may be, if such failure was caused by such partys failure to comply with any provision of this Agreement.
ARTICLE X
TAXES
10.1 Allocation of Taxes. All Taxes imposed on or with respect of the Purchased Assets on a periodic basis (including, but not limited
to, real estate Taxes and assessments) (Periodic Taxes) relating to periods beginning on or before and ending after the Closing Date shall be allocated on a per diem basis to Seller, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other
hand, respectively, in accordance with Section 164(d) of the IRC. All Periodic Taxes relating to periods ending before the Closing Date shall be allocated solely to Seller. All Periodic Taxes relating to the periods beginning on or after the
Closing Date shall be allocated solely to Purchaser. If the actual amounts to be prorated are not known as of the Closing Date, then the prorations shall be made on the basis of Periodic Taxes assessed for the prior year.

statement (the Allocation Statement) provided by Purchaser to Seller as soon as practicable after the Closing, which statement shall be prepared in accordance with Section 1060 of the IRC. Purchaser and Seller shall file all

10.5 Collection of Accounts Receivable.
(a) As of the Closing Date, Seller hereby (i) authorizes Purchaser to open any and all mail addressed to Seller relating to the Business
or the Purchased Assets and delivered to the offices of the Business or otherwise to Purchaser if received on or after the Closing Date and (ii) appoints Purchaser or its attorney-in-fact to endorse, cash and deposit any monies, checks or
negotiable instruments received by Purchaser after the Closing Date with respect to Accounts Receivable that are Purchased Assets, made payable or endorsed to Seller or Sellers order, for Purchasers own account.
(b) As of the Closing Date, Seller agrees that any monies, checks or negotiable instruments received by Seller after the Closing Date with
respect to Accounts Receivable (including, without limitation, credit card receivables) that are Purchased Assets, shall be held in trust by Seller for Purchasers benefit and account, and promptly upon receipt by a Seller of any such payment
(but in any event within ten (10) Business Days of such receipt), Seller shall pay over to Purchaser or its designee the amount of such payments. In addition, Purchaser agrees that, after the Closing, it will hold and will promptly transfer and
deliver to Seller, from time to time as and when received by Purchaser or its Affiliates, any cash, checks with appropriate endorsements, or other property that Purchaser or its Affiliates may receive on or after the Closing which properly belongs
to Seller hereunder, including any Excluded Assets.
(c) As of the Closing Date, Purchaser shall have the sole authority to bill and
collect Accounts Receivable that are Purchased Assets.
10.6 Transfer Taxes. Seller shall use their commercially reasonable efforts
to obtain in the Sale Order a decree that, to the extent that the transfer of the Purchased Assets is subject to exemption pursuant to Section 1146(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, the making, delivery, filing and recording of various instruments of
transfer to be recorded in connection with the sale by Seller of the Purchased Assets to Purchaser shall not be taxed under any Law imposing a recording tax, stamp tax, transfer tax or similar tax. To the extent that any transfer, registration,
stamp, documentary, sales, use, or similar Tax is assessed in connection with the transfer of the Purchased Assets, all such Taxes (including, but not limited to all applicable real estate transfer or gains Taxes), any penalties, interest and
additions to Tax, and court, registration and filing fees incurred in connection with this Agreement shall be divided equally between the Parties. Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate in the timely making of all filings, returns, reports, and forms
as may be required in connection therewith.
ARTICLE XI
INDEMNIFICATION
The
representations and warranties of Purchaser and Seller made in this Agreement and the covenants of Purchaser and Seller contained in this Agreement that, by their terms, are to be performed prior to the Closing shall not survive the Closing Date and
shall be extinguished by the Closing and the consummation of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement. Absent fraud, Purchaser shall not have any remedy against Seller, and Seller shall not have any remedy against the Purchaser or its
Affiliates for (i) any breach of a representation or warranty contained in this Agreement (other than to terminate the Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof and as provided in Section 4.2) and (ii) if the Closing
occurs, any breach of a covenant contained in this Agreement with respect to the period prior to the Closing Date, except to the extent that certain obligations of the Parties that survive the Closing.

ARTICLE XII
MISCELLANEOUS
12.1 No
Survival of Representations and Warranties. The Parties agree that the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall not survive the Closing hereunder and no Person shall have any liability for any breach thereof.
12.2 Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Seller and Purchaser shall bear its own expenses incurred in connection
with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement, and each other agreement, document, and instrument contemplated by this Agreement, and the consummation of the Transactions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, until the Closing Date, Seller shall
retain any cash receipts from operations and be responsible for all costs of operations, all bankruptcy fees and costs and all administrative expenses.
12.3 Injunctive Relief. Damages at Law may be an inadequate remedy for the breach of any of the covenants, promises, or agreements
contained in this Agreement, and, accordingly, either Party shall be entitled to injunctive relief with respect to any such breach, including, without limitation, specific performance of such covenants, promises, or agreements or an order enjoining
a party from any threatened, or from the continuation of any actual, breach of the covenants, promises, or agreements contained in this Agreement. The rights set forth in this Section 12.3 shall be in addition to any other rights a Party
may have at Law or in equity pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise.
12.4 Submission to Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of
Process.
(a) Without limiting either Partys right to appeal any order of the Bankruptcy Court, (i) the Bankruptcy Court
shall retain exclusive jurisdiction to enforce the terms of this Agreement and to decide any claims or disputes that may arise or result from or be connected with this Agreement, any breach or default hereunder, or the Transactions, and
(ii) any and all proceedings related to the foregoing shall be filed and maintained only in the Bankruptcy Court. The Parties hereby consent to and submit to the jurisdiction and venue of the Bankruptcy Court with respect to any such dispute
and shall receive notices at such locations as indicated in Section 12.8 hereof; provided, however, that if the Bankruptcy Case has closed, then the Parties agree to unconditionally and irrevocably submit to the exclusive
jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey and any appellate court thereof for the resolution of any such claim or dispute. The Parties hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law,
any objection which they may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such dispute brought in such court or any defense of inconvenient forum for the maintenance of such dispute. Each of the Parties agrees that a judgment in any such
dispute may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law.

Donald H. Steckroth August 19, 2014

(b) Each of the Parties hereby consents to process being served by any Party in any suit, action,
or proceeding by delivery of a copy thereof in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.8.
12.5 Waiver of Right to
Trial by Jury. Each party to this Agreement waives any right to trial by jury in any action, matter or proceeding regarding this Agreement or any provision hereof.
12.6 Entire Agreement; Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement (including the Schedules and Exhibits hereto) represents the entire
understanding and agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes and replaces all prior and contemporaneous agreements (including the Original Purchase Agreement) and understandings, oral or written, with
regard to such transactions. This Agreement can be amended, supplemented, or changed, and any provision hereof can be waived, only by written instrument making specific reference to this Agreement signed by the party against whom enforcement of any
such amendment, supplement, modification, or waiver is sought. No action taken pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, any investigation by or on behalf of any party, shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by the party taking such
action of compliance with any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein. The waiver by either Party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a further or continuing waiver of such
breach or as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. No failure on the part of any Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power, or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise
of such right, power, or remedy by such party preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, or remedy. All remedies hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other remedies provided by Law.
12.7 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the state of New Jersey
applicable to contracts made and performed in such state.
12.8 Notices. All notices and other communications under this Agreement
shall be in writing and shall be deemed given (i) when delivered personally by hand, (ii) when sent by facsimile (upon written confirmation of transmission), (iii) one (1) Business Day following the day sent by overnight courier
(with written confirmation of receipt) or (iv) five (5) Business Days following the date of mailing if delivered by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, in each case at the following addresses and facsimile numbers (or
to such other address or facsimile number as a party may have specified by notice given to the other party pursuant to this provision):

of any rights or obligations hereunder may be made by Seller or Purchaser (by operation of Law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other Party and any attempted assignment without the required consent shall be void. No assignment
of any obligations hereunder shall relieve the Parties of any such obligations. Upon any such permitted assignment, the references in this Agreement to Seller or Purchaser shall also apply to any such assignee unless the context otherwise requires.
12.11 Counterparts; Electronic Signature. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which, taken

Execution Version
TRANSITION SERVICES AGREEMENT
THIS TRANSITION SERVICES AGREEMENT (hereinafter this Agreement) is entered into as of August 18, 2014, by and among
SASSY 14, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (Purchaser), and SASSY, INC., an Illinois corporation (Seller, on behalf of itself and Affiliates (as defined in the Purchase Agreement, collectively the
Selling Entities). Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in the Purchase Agreement (defined below).
R E C I T A L S
WHEREAS,
Purchaser and the Seller are party to that certain Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of July 25, 2014 (as amended from time to time, the Purchase Agreement; capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings set
forth in the Purchase Agreement), pursuant to which, inter alia, Purchaser is to purchase the Purchased Assets, in consideration for the payment of the Purchase Price and the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities, subject to the terms and conditions
set forth therein; and
WHEREAS, as a material inducement to the parties to enter into the Purchase Agreement and to undertake the
transactions contemplated thereby, the Selling Entities and the Purchaser have each agreed to provide the other with certain transitional services and support necessary for the operation of the Purchased Assets (including with respect to certain
rights in the Purchased Assets retained by the Selling Entities) and the employment of certain of the employees following the Closing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein; and
WHEREAS, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will be subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court and will be consummated only
pursuant to a Sale Order to be entered in the Bankruptcy Case and other applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and Closing of Sale.
A G R E E M E N T
NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained in the Purchase Agreement and any related documents, including this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged,
the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
1. Transition Services. The Selling Entities, on the one hand, directly or through one
or more third party service providers, agree to provide to Purchaser and/or its designees, on the one hand, and Purchaser and/or its designees, on the other hand, agree to provide the Selling Entities, with those services listed and described in
Exhibit A attached hereto (the Transition Services) during the Term provided in Section 3 hereof.
2.
Expenses. The parties receiving Transition Services hereunder (the Receiving Party) shall be responsible for any expense reimbursement required to be made to the party(ies) providing such Transition Service (the Providing
Party), as required under and set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto.
Approved by Judge
Donald H. Steckroth August 19, 2014
3. Effectiveness; Term. This Agreement shall become effective as of the Closing Date. The
term of this Agreement (the Term) shall commence on the Closing Date and end on December 31, 2014 thereof; provided, however, that the obligations of the Selling Entities to provide any Transition Service under
this Agreement shall extend for such period of time as is set forth in Exhibit A hereto with respect to such Transition Service, but in no event for any time beyond the Term; provided, further, that (i) the obligation of the Selling
Entities to provide any particular Transition Service shall terminate immediately if a Designated Contract with the third party service provider used by the Selling Entities to perform such Transition Service becomes an Assumed Contract or is
rejected in the Bankruptcy Case in accordance with the Purchase Agreement and (ii) subject to the last sentence of Section 4 below, the level of service provided shall decrease to the extent that employees of the Selling Entities become
Transferred Employees.
4. Staffing of Personnel. The Providing Party shall assign (or shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
cause any third party service provider to assign) adequately trained personnel to perform the Transition Services. The Transition Services shall be performed by the Providing Party (or the Providing Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
have any third party service provider perform the Transition Services) in a timely, efficient and workmanlike manner consistent with the prior practices of the Business. Nothing herein shall require the Selling Entities to hire any new employees
(including replacing any Transferred Employees). In addition, to the extent that any employee or contractor of the Selling Entities who performs any particular Transition Service resigns or is terminated, the Selling Entities shall not be required
to replace such individual or continue to provide any such service (unless such service can reasonably be provided by other employees of the Selling Entities); provided, that if Purchaser agrees to reimburse all costs associated with any attempt to
replace an employee or contractor whose employment or service has terminated (including without limitation all costs associated with the employment of such employee or retention of such contractor), Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts
to replace such position. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge that no Affiliate of Seller shall be required to continue to employ any employee or retain any contractor beyond the time that such Affiliate would require such
employees services (in the absence of this Agreement), unless Purchaser reimburses the Selling Entities for all costs associated with the continued employment of such employee or retention of such contractor. Purchaser further agrees that if
those employees of the Selling Entities who are necessary to perform any Transition Services have become Transferred Employees, to the extent necessary, Purchaser shall either make such Transferred Employees available to the Selling Entities in
order to allow the Selling Entities to continue to provide such Transition Services or Purchaser shall terminate the Selling Entities obligation to provide such Transition Services.
5. Information. The Receiving Party shall provide to the Providing Party on a timely basis any and all information which is necessary
for the Providing Party to provide the Transition Services. The Receiving Party shall be solely responsible for the timely delivery of such information, and the accuracy and completeness thereof.
Approved by Judge
Donald H. Steckroth August 19, 2014

6. Proprietary and Confidential Information. Except as specifically provided herein, the
parties hereto hereby agree that the Providing Party shall not (i) disclose to any third party (other than a third party service provider of Transition Services who is subject to an obligation of confidentiality) any confidential information
provided to it by the Receiving Party or its designees in connection with this Agreement and the Providing Partys performance of Transition Services hereunder, except as required by Law or as required to be disclosed to the Bankruptcy Court,
or (ii) use such information other than in the performance of Transition Services under this Agreement.
7. Termination.
(a) The Receiving Party may terminate any of the Transition Services being provided hereunder at any time during the Term of this Agreement by
thirty (30) days written notice to the Providing Party.
(b) Purchaser or Seller may terminate this Agreement by written notice to the
other upon the material breach or failure by such other party (or such other partys Affiliates) to perform its obligations arising under this Agreement. In the event that either party elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this
Section 7(b), such termination shall be effective when the material breach or failure is not cured within fifteen (15) days after written notice of such breach or failure is given by the non-breaching party to the breaching party.
8. Limitation of Liability. In no event will any party hereto, or any third party provider of Transition Services, be liable for any
punitive, incidental, indirect, special or consequential damages, relating to, in connection with or arising out of this Agreement and the Transition Services to be provided hereunder.
9. Standard of Performance of Services. The Providing Party shall perform, or use commercially reasonable efforts to cause their third
party service providers to perform, the Transition Services with the same degree of care, skill and prudence customarily exercised with respect to the operations of the Business (or, as the case may be, the business of Sellers Affiliates)
prior to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, and in compliance with all applicable laws, rules, regulations, orders, licenses authorizations, certifications and permits; provided, however, that except as
expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Providing Party makes no representation or warranty, express or implied, with respect to the Transition Services to be provided hereunder including, without limitation, any warranties of merchantability or
fitness for a particular purpose, which are specifically disclaimed.
10. Indemnification.
(a) The Selling Entities shall indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser, its Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, members,
managers, partners, shareholders, employees, and agents from and against all claims, liabilities, obligations, suits, causes of action, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees) (collectively Claims) resulting,
directly or indirectly, from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any of the Selling Entities in connection with the performance of Transition Services; provided, however, that the Selling Entities shall not be required to indemnify or hold
harmless Purchaser to the extent the Claims are caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Purchaser or its Affiliates.
Approved by Judge
Donald H. Steckroth August 19, 2014

(b) Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless the Selling Entities, their Affiliates, and their
respective officers, directors, members, managers, partners, shareholders, employees, and agents from and against all Claims: (i) claimed to have resulted, directly or indirectly, from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Purchaser or
its Affiliates in connection with the performance of Transition Services; provided, however, that Purchaser shall not be required to indemnify or hold harmless the Selling Entities to the extent the Claims are caused by the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of any of the Selling Entities or their respective Affiliates; and (ii) that arise from or relate to the operation of the Business following the Closing Date (but only in connection with the services provided by this
Agreement), including without limitation any such Claims to the extent not caused by gross negligence or willful conduct of the Selling Entities or their Affiliates brought by employees or contractors of Seller or any Selling Entity who remain
employed or retained by Seller or such Selling Entity pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; provided, that the Selling Entities shall provide reasonable cooperation to Purchaser, at Purchasers sole expense, with respect to any such Claim.
11. Notices. Any notice, demand, request, waiver or other communication under this Agreement shall be given or made in accordance
with Section 12.8 of the Purchase Agreement. Any party may from time to time change its address for the purpose of notices to that party by giving or making a similar notice specifying a new address pursuant to Section 12.8 of the Purchase
Agreement. Seller hereby warrants that all of the counterparties to any executory contract listed on Exhibit B hereto have been properly served the Sale Motion, a proposed Sale Order and the Supplement in accordance with all applicable provisions of
the Bankruptcy Code, Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure, the Local Bankruptcy Rules for the District of New Jersey, the Purchase Agreement and any order of the Bankruptcy Court.
12. Independent Contractor. The parties hereto understand and agree that this Agreement does not make either of them an agent, fiduciary
or legal representative of the other for any purpose whatsoever. No party is granted, by this Agreement or otherwise, any right or authority to assume or create any obligation or responsibility, express or implied, on behalf of or in the name of any
other party, or to bind any other party in any manner whatsoever.
13. Responsibility of Personnel. The Providing Party agrees that
they shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that all personnel of the Providing Party assigned to perform the Transition Services under this Agreement shall comply with all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including, but
not limited to, the terms and conditions of Section 6 hereof.
14. Subcontracting. Subject to the last sentence of
Section 4 hereof, unless the Selling Entities subcontracted the performance of any similar services relating to the ownership, operation and management of the Business or the Purchased Assets prior to the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, the Selling Entities will not subcontract to any third person the performance of any Transition Service for Purchaser without Purchasers prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed.
Approved by Judge
Donald H. Steckroth August 19, 2014

15. No Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations
hereunder shall be assigned by any party (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other parties, and any such assignment shall be null and void; provided that the rights of either party under this Agreement
may be assigned by such party, without the prior written consent of the other party, to any Affiliate thereof under common control with such assigning party, or to one or more designees, so long in each case as the assigning party shall continue to
remain obligated in full hereunder. No assignment by any party (including an assignment by Purchaser to any designee) shall relieve such party of any of its obligations hereunder. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement and all of the provisions
hereof shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns, including, in the case of Selling Entities, the trustee in the Bankruptcy Case.
16. Force Majeure. No party hereto shall be liable for any failure of or delay in the performance of this Agreement for the period that
such failure or delay is due to acts of God, public enemy, civil war, strikes or labor disputes, or any other cause beyond the parties reasonable control. Each party hereto agrees to notify the other party hereto promptly of the occurrence of any
such cause and to carry out this Agreement as promptly as practicable after such cause is terminated.
17. Modifications, Amendments and
Waivers. This Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented only by a written instrument signed on behalf of each of the Selling Entities and Purchaser.
18. Integration. This Agreement and the Purchase Agreement contain the entire understanding among the parties hereto with respect to the
transactions contemplated hereby and supersedes and replaces all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings, oral or written, with regard to such transactions. All exhibits and schedules hereto are expressly made a part of this
Agreement as fully as though completely set forth herein. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit or otherwise modify the obligations of the Parties under the Purchase Agreement that survive the Closing.
19. Severability. If any non-material term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by
any rule of Law or public policy, all other terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in
any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon a determination that any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to
effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible; provided, however, that in
doing so, no party shall be obligated to waive or forego any material right or benefit available to it hereunder.
20. No Third Party
Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other person
any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever, including any rights of employment for any specified period, under or by reason of this Agreement.

21. Governing Law. Except to the extent that mandatory provisions of the Bankruptcy Code
apply, this Agreement, and all claims and causes of action arising out of, based upon, or related to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution or performance hereof, shall be governed by, and construed, interpreted and enforced in accordance
with, the Laws of the State of New Jersey, without regard to choice or conflict of law principles that would result in the application of any Laws other than the Laws of the State of New Jersey.
22. SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.
(a) Any action, claim, suit or Legal Proceeding arising out of, based upon or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated
hereby shall be brought solely in the Bankruptcy Court (or any court exercising appellate jurisdiction over the Bankruptcy Court). Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court (or any court exercising
appellate jurisdiction, over the Bankruptcy Court) in respect of any action, claim, suit or Legal Proceeding arising out of, based upon or relating to this Agreement or any of the rights and obligations arising hereunder, and agrees that it will not
bring any action arising out of, based upon or related thereto in any other court; provided, however, that, if the Bankruptcy Case is dismissed, any action, claim, suit or Legal Proceeding arising out of, based upon or relating to this Agreement or
the transactions contemplated hereby shall be heard and determined solely in any state or federal court within the State of New Jersey and any direct appellate court therefrom. Each party hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert as a
defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any such action, claim, suit or Legal Proceeding, (i) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the above named courts for any reason other than the failure to serve process in
accordance with Section 12.8 of the Purchase Agreement, (ii) any claim that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice,
attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) and (iii) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any claim that (x) the suit, action or Legal Proceeding in such
court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (y) the venue of such suit, action or Legal Proceeding is improper or (z) this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or entered into in connection herewith, or the
subject matter hereof or thereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts. Each party agrees that notice or the service of process in any action, claim, suit or Legal Proceeding arising out of, based upon or relating to this Agreement or any of the
rights and obligations arising hereunder or thereunder, shall be properly served or delivered if delivered in the manner contemplated by Section 12.8 of the Purchase Agreement.
(b) EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY AND ALL RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO
TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, CLAIM, SUIT OR LEGAL PROCEEDING BETWEEN THE PARTIES HERETO ARISING OUT OF, BASED UPON OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE NEGOTIATION, EXECUTION OR PERFORMANCE HEREOF.

23. Specific Performance. Subject to the provisions of Section 4 hereof, the parties
agree that irreparable damage may occur in the event that any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its specific terms or was otherwise breached and that monetary damages may not be an adequate remedy for any breach or
threatened breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions
of this Agreement, and any such injunction shall be in addition to any other remedy to which any party is entitled, at law or in equity.
24. Headings. The descriptive headings and table of contents contained in this Agreement are included for convenience of reference only
and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.
25. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed
in one or more counterparts, and by the different parties in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement, and which shall become
effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered (by facsimile or otherwise) to the other parties.

respective Affiliates shall be limited to the matters described below.
I. SERVICES PROVIDED BY SELLER:
During the Term of the Agreement; Seller shall provide the following Services:
1. Seller shall, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the other Selling Entities to, provide Purchaser and its Affiliates
with all transitional support services as are (a) reasonably necessary or advisable to (i) operate the Business in the ordinary course of business consistent with recent past practice, including but not limited to using commercially
reasonable efforts to cause the employees in the Chinese subsidiary to abide by the terms of this Agreement, (ii) preserve in all material respects the Purchased Assets, and (iii) preserve the current relationships of the Business with the
suppliers, vendors, customers, clients, contractors and others having business dealings therewith, in each case as reasonably requested by Purchaser, and (b) otherwise reasonably requested by Purchaser in connection with Purchasers
ownership, operation and management of the Business and the Purchased Assets from and after Closing; provided, however, that neither Seller nor any of the other Selling Entities shall be required to take any actions that are outside of the
scope of the actions taken thereby in connection with the ordinary course of the Business consistent with the pre-Petition practices thereof;
2. Use commercially reasonable efforts to continue to employ employees who have not yet become Transferred Employees (Current
Employees) on substantially similar terms that existed pre-closing, including the provision of benefits and insurance provided that there shall be no increase to the compensation payable or benefits provided to any director or any current
employee, other than (A) as required by the terms of any Contract or Seller Benefit Plan in effect on the date of this Agreement, (B) as provided in any incentive or retention program or similar arrangement approved by the Bankruptcy Court
with the written consent of Purchaser, (C) increases for nonexecutive management current employees that are not material in the aggregate, or (D) any termination of, or reduction in benefits payable under, a Seller Benefit Plan prior to

II. SERVICES PROVIDED BY PURCHASER:
During the Term of the Agreement, Purchaser shall provide the Selling Entities (for the avoidance of doubt, including Kid Brands, Inc.) the
following Services:
1. Purchaser will use reasonably commercial efforts to provide Selling Entities access to the Microsoft AX system,
with such access being controlled in all respects by Purchaser, necessary or advisable to (i) manage the Selling Entities business in the ordinary course of business consistent with recent past practice, (ii) preserve in all material
respects the assets of the Selling Entities, all as more specifically set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto and made a part hereof, for up to the earlier of (i) Rejection or (ii) 90 days post-Closing in order for the Selling Entities to
transition off of this system; and provided, that the Selling Entities shall be entitled to request one extension of up to an additional 30 days during which Purchaser will continue to provide the services herein. Notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, during the Term of this Agreement, Purchaser shall not cancel any of the services or contracts set forth on Exhibit B without the consent of the Selling Entities, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, or without providing
substantially equivalent services to the reasonable satisfaction of the Selling Entities.
2. (a) At the Closing, Purchaser shall take
possession of all inventory (and with respect to Disney, any tooling) of Seller bearing licensed trademarks associated with Disney® or
Garanimals® or variations thereof (collectively, the Licensed Inventory) pursuant to any applicable terms of the Sale Order. Seller shall retain all inventory of Seller bearing
licensed trademarks associated with Carters® or variations thereof (the Excluded Licensed Inventory), and such Excluded Licensed Inventory, together with any license
agreement between Seller and The William Carter Company and its affiliates, shall be Excluded Assets.
(b) Purchaser shall segregate and
store all such Licensed Inventory, and shall be responsible for carrying insurance coverage therefor in a commercially reasonable amount. Subject to the provisions of the Sale Order, Purchaser and Seller shall cooperate in good faith to obtain
either the consent of the respective licensors of such Licensed Inventory or an order of the Bankruptcy Court, in either case permitting the sale of such Licensed Inventory to third parties. In the case of tooling, Purchaser shall not use tooling
until it receives consent of Disney or an order of the Bankruptcy Court.
(c) All proceeds from the sale of such Licensed Inventory shall
be held in escrow by the Escrow Agent and shall be disbursed as follows:
(i) first, to the Purchaser, in an amount sufficient to
reimburse Purchaser for the reasonable costs of storing, segregating and insuring such Licensed Inventory and payment of any license royalty fees, shipping & delivery fees, and/or standard retailer deductions;
(ii) second, the remaining proceeds shall be paid 70% to Seller and 30% to Purchaser; provided, that the first $250,000 of Sellers share
of such proceeds shall be retained in escrow until December 31, 2014, and which may be used to satisfy the dollar amount of any damages to which Purchaser is entitled from Seller in respect of a Purchaser Claim that has been finalized under
Section 3.1(e)(iii) of the Purchase Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, once such $250,000 has been retained in escrow, Seller shall be entitled to prompt payment of Sellers remaining share of the proceeds. To the extent Purchaser
Claim exceeds $250,000, Purchaser shall be deemed to have an allowed administrative claim and reserves all rights to collect on such claim.

(d) Any proposed sales of Licensed Inventory (assuming the relevant licensor consents to any
such sale) at a price less than 85% of landed cost of such Licensed Inventory must be pre-approved in writing by Seller and that relevant licensor, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, or the relevant licensor. Any other sales are in
Purchasers sole discretion. To the extent that Licensed Inventory is not sold for any reason by December 31, 2014, Seller shall not be entitled to a share of the proceeds, but rather Purchaser shall be entitled to the full proceeds,
provided however that Purchaser may still not sell said Licensed Inventory absent an order of court or consent of the appropriate licensor and, for the avoidance of doubt, Seller shall have no such pre-approval rights after December 31, 2014.
(e) For the avoidance of doubt, the Excluded Licensed Inventory shall not be subject to the provisions of clauses (b), (c) and
(d) above. To the extent that any Excluded Licensed Inventory is located in any facility that is the subject of an Assumed Agreement or is subject to Purchasers Designation Rights, Seller shall, within thirty (30) days of the
Closing, remove any such Excluded Licensed Inventory from such facility. During such thirty (30) day period, or any portion thereof that such facility is the subject of an Assumed Agreement, Purchaser shall store and move such Excluded Licensed
Inventory on behalf of Seller pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; provided, that title and risk of loss shall remain with Seller.
In
connection with the aforementioned Transition Services, the Selling Entities and their representatives shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts not to materially interfere with the ordinary course of the Business and
the use and operation of Purchasers and its Affiliates offices and other facilities in connection therewith, and to comply with all posted, reasonable safety and security rules and regulations for such offices and other facilities. In
addition, no access to, or examination of, any information or other investigation shall be permitted by the either party and their representatives in connection with the aforementioned Transition Services to the extent that it would require
disclosure of information subject to attorney-client or other privilege prior to the such partys entry or its representatives (as applicable) into a customary and mutually agreeable confidentiality, non-disclosure or joint defense
agreement.
