Ltd. (“Atlantis Co.”) and Umami Sustainable Seafood Inc. (“Umami”).

PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS

WHEREAS, Grantors directly own outstanding stock of Umami, an affiliate of Secured Party, and will derive substantial economic benefit as a result of the financial accommodations being made available to Atlantis Co. and are willing to execute and deliver this Agreement in order to induce such financial accommodations.

WHEREAS, Atlantis Co. acknowledges and agrees that it owes to Umami an amount of $1,107,340 United States Dollars in unpaid invoices (the “Overdue Amount”), and that such Overdue Amount is currently due and owing to Umami. The Overdue Amount is net of $6,261,992 related to amounts owed to Atlantis Co. by Umami.

WHEREAS, Umami agrees to forbear from exercising its right to immediately collect such Overdue Amount due to (i) Umami's long and mutually beneficial business relationship with Atlantis Co., (ii) Atlantis Co.'s agreement to execute this Agreement, and (iii) the execution of this Agreement by the Grantors;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of Umami's agreement to forbear from immediate collection of the Overdue Amount, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Atlantis Co. and Umami hereby agree as follows:

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Atlantis Co. unconditionally promises to pay to the order of Umami, in the manner and at the place hereinafter provided, the principal amount of ONE MILLION, ONE HUNDRED SEVEN THOUSAND, THREE HUNDRED FOURTY DOLLARS ($1,107,340)) on on July 31, 2012 in one installment, which such installment shall be made in the amount necessary to pay the Secured Obligations Documents (as defined herein) in full.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the agreements set forth herein and in order to induce the extension of credit, each Grantor hereby agrees with Secured Party as follows:

SECTION 1.    Grant of Security.

Each Grantor hereby pledges and assigns to Secured Party, and hereby grants to Secured Party a security interest in, all of such Grantor's right, title and interest in and to the following personal property of such Grantor, in each case whether now or hereafter existing, whether tangible or intangible, whether now owned or hereafter acquired and wherever the same may be located (the “Collateral”):






(a)all Investment Property of Umami owned by each Grantor (including all security entitlements, securities and shares listed on Schedule 1 hereof); and

(b)all proceeds with respect to any of the foregoing Collateral.

Each category of Collateral set forth above shall have the meaning set forth in the UCC, it being the intention of the Grantors that the description of the Collateral set forth above be construed to include the broadest possible range of assets.

SECTION2.    Security for Obligations.

This Agreement secures, and the Collateral is collateral security for, the prompt payment in full when due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise, of all Secured Obligations of each Grantor. “Secured Obligations” means all receivables owing to Secured Party by Atlantis Co., as set forth on Schedule 2 hereto, together with all extensions or renewals thereof, whether for principal, interest, reimbursement of amounts drawn under letters of credit, fees, expenses, indemnities or otherwise, whether voluntary or involuntary, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, whether or not jointly owed with others, and whether or not from time to time decreased or extinguished and later increased, created or incurred, and all or any portion of such obligations or liabilities that are paid, to the extent all or any part of such payment is avoided or recovered directly or indirectly from Secured Party as a preference, fraudulent transfer or otherwise, and all obligations of every nature of Grantors now or hereafter existing under this Agreement (including, without limitation, interest and other amounts that, but for the filing of a petition in bankruptcy with respect to any Grantor, would accrue on such obligations, whether or not a claim is allowed against such Grantor for such amounts in the related bankruptcy proceeding).

SECTION 3.    Acknowledgements.
        
Atlantis Co. and the Grantors acknowledge and agree that the Current Defaults have occurred and are continuing and that such Current Defaults constitute events of default under the Secured Obligation Documents that would entitle Umami to declare the Secured Obligation Documents immediately due and payable.

SECTION 4.    Forbearance.
        
Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and in reliance on the undertakings, representations and warranties of Atlantis Co. herein contained, Umami hereby agrees to forbear from exercising rights and remedies that may exist by virtue of the Current Defaults until (x) 5:00 p.m. (ET) time on July 31, 2012 and (y) the date upon which any of the Conditions set forth in Section 5 hereof is not satisfied or ceases to continue to be satisfied (the earlier to occur of each such date, the “Forbearance Termination Date”). Notwithstanding the acknowledgment of the Current Defaults, until the Forbearance Termination Date, references to defaults and events of default in the Secured Obligation Documents shall not include the Current Defaults.

SECTION 5.    Conditions to Forbearance.

The forbearance set forth in Section 4 hereof is subject to the satisfaction and continuation of the following conditions (the “Conditions”): (x) no default or event of default under the Secured Obligation Documents, other than the Current Defaults, shall occur or be continuing, and (y) Atlantis Co. and the Grantors shall have satisfied and be in compliance with each term and condition of this Agreement.

SECTION 6.    Reservation of Rights.

(a)The forbearance set forth in Section 4 hereof shall be limited precisely as written and relates solely to the Current Defaults until the Forbearance Termination Date in the manner and to the extent above set forth, and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to (x) constitute a waiver by Umami of compliance by Atlantis Co. with respect to any term, provision or condition of the Secured Obligation Documents or any other instrument or agreement referred to therein or (y) prejudice any right or remedy that Umami may now have (except to the extent of the express forbearance of such right or remedy set forth herein) or may have in the future under or in connection with the Secured Obligation Documents or any other instrument or agreement referred to therein.

(b)Except as expressly set forth herein, the terms, provisions and conditions of the Secured Obligation Documents shall remain in full force and effect and in all other respects are hereby ratified and confirmed.

(c)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, none of the Grantors nor Atlantis Co. will claim that any prior action or course of conduct by Umami constitutes an agreement or obligation to continue such action or course of conduct in the future. The Grantors and Atlantis Co. acknowledge that Umami has made no commitment as to how the Current Defaults will be resolved prior to, or after, the Forbearance Termination Date.


3





(d)The Grantors, Atlantis Co. and Umami may, from time to time, engage in negotiations concerning the Secured Obligations, and such negotiations may be lengthy and complex. Umami shall have no obligation to modify, amend and/or restructure the Secured Obligation Documents in connection with such negotiations or otherwise. Umami may terminate such negotiations at any time, in its sole discretion, with or without notice, and without liability of any kind. Umami shall not have any obligation or liability by virtue of the commencement, prosecution or termination of negotiations concerning any possible amendment. Umami shall not waive any rights or incur any liability by negotiation nor by the passage of time associated therewith.

(e)Subject only to the terms of this Agreement, and subject to any applicable notice, grace or cure periods, Umami may exercise any right or remedy available to them pursuant to the Secured Obligation Documents or by applicable law or in equity before the Forbearance Termination Date, including, without limitation, as the result of a default or event of default under the Secured Obligation Documents other than a Current Default, and nothing herein shall operate to restrict, inhibit or prohibit Umami from exercising any such right or remedy or from the prosecution or continued prosecution of any action or proceeding in furtherance of the foregoing. At any time on or after the Forbearance Termination Date, Umami shall be entitled to exercise all their rights and remedies (including rights and remedies based on the Current Defaults), whether under the Secured Obligation Documents or at law or in equity, without further notice or demand, except as is required pursuant to the Secured Obligation Documents.

(b)    Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default:

(i)    upon written notice from Secured Party to a Grantor, all rights of such Grantor to exercise the voting and other consensual rights that it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 11(a)(i) shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in Secured Party who shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise such voting and other consensual rights;

(c)    Each Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints Secured Party as such Grantor's attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Grantor, and in the name of such Grantor, Secured Party or otherwise, from time to time in Secured Party's discretion, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, to take any action and execute any instrument or document that Secured Party may deem necessary or advisable in order to sell, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though Secured Party were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at Secured Party's option and Grantors' expense, at any time or from time to time, all acts and things that Secured Party deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and Secured Party's security interest therein in order to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do.

The powers conferred on Secured Party hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the exercise of reasonable care in the custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, Secured Party shall have no duty as to any Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral. Secured Party shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which Secured Party accords its own property.

(a)    Events of Default. The occurrence of any of the following events shall constitute an “Event of Default”:

(i)    Failure to Pay Secured Obligations. Atlantis Co., its successor or any other obligor of the Secured Obligations shall fail to pay all or any part of the Secured Obligations when due; or

(ii)    Breach of Covenants. Failure of any Grantor to perform or observe any other term, covenant or agreement on its part to be performed or observed pursuant to this Agreement shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days without cure; or

(iii)    Breach of Representation or Warranty. Any representation or warranty made by any Grantor to Secured Party in this Agreement shall prove to have been false in any material respect when made; or

(iv)    Dissolution of Grantor. Any order, judgment or decree shall be entered against any Grantor decreeing the dissolution of such Grantor and such order shall remain undischarged or unstayed for a period of time in excess of thirty (30) days; or

(v)    Involuntary Bankruptcy, etc. (A) A court having jurisdiction in the premises shall enter a decree or order for relief in respect of any in an involuntary case under the Bankruptcy Code or any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, which decree or order is not stayed; or any other similar relief shall be granted under any applicable federal or state law; or (B) an involuntary case shall be commenced against any Grantor under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect; or a decree or order of a court having jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, sequestrator, trustee, custodian or other officer having similar powers over Grantor or over all or a substantial part of its property shall have been entered; or the involuntary appointment of an interim receiver, trustee or other custodian of any Grantor for all or a substantial part of its property shall have occurred; or a warrant of attachment, execution or similar process shall have been issued against any substantial part of the property of any Grantor, and, in the case of any event described in this clause (B), such event shall have continued for 60 days unless dismissed, bonded or discharged; or

(vi)    Voluntary Bankruptcy, etc. An order for relief shall be entered with respect to any Grantor or any Grantor shall commence a voluntary case under the Bankruptcy Code or any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or shall consent to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case, or to the conversion of an involuntary case to a voluntary case, under any such law, or shall consent to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, trustee or other custodian for all or a substantial part of its property; or any Grantor shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors; or any Grantor shall be unable or fail, or shall admit in writing its inability, to pay its debts as such debts become due; or the board of directors or other governing body of any Grantor (or any committee thereof) shall adopt or authorize action to approve any of the foregoing; or


9





(vii)    Repudiation or Invalidity of this Agreement. Each Grantor shall challenge, or institute any proceedings to challenge, the validity, binding effect or enforceability of this Agreement or any other obligation to Secured Party; or this Agreement or any provision thereof shall cease to be in full force or effect or shall be declared to be null or void, or Secured Party shall not have or cease to have a valid and perfected first priority security interest in the Collateral.

(b)    If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Secured Party may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral), and also may (i) require each Grantor to, and each Grantor hereby agrees that it will at its expense and upon request of Secured Party forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by Secured Party and make it available to Secured Party at a place to be designated by Secured Party that is reasonably convenient to both parties, (ii) sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of Secured Party's offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, at such time or times and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as Secured Party may deem commercially reasonable, (iii) provide entitlement orders with respect to security entitlements and other Investment Property constituting a part of the Collateral and, without notice to any Grantor, transfer to or register in the name of Secured Party or any of its nominees any or all of the Collateral constituting Investment Property. Each Grantor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, as from time to time amended (the “Securities Act”), and applicable state securities laws, Secured Party may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Collateral conducted without prior registration or qualification of such Collateral under the Securities Act and/or such state securities laws, to limit purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire the Collateral for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Secured Party may be the purchaser of any or all of the Collateral at any such sale and Secured Party, shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Secured Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by Secured Party at such sale. Each Grantor hereby waives any claims against Secured Party arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at any such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if Secured Party accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree, and agrees that any such private placement shall, in and of itself, not be deemed to be commercially unreasonable. If Secured Party determines to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Collateral, upon written request, each Grantor shall and shall cause each issuer of any Collateral to be sold hereunder from time to time to furnish to Secured Party all such information as Secured Party may request in order to determine the amount of Collateral that may be sold by Secured Party in exempt transactions under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, as the same are from time to time in effect.


10

THIRD: To the payment to or upon the order of Aurora, Atlantis Group, or to whosoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct, of any surplus then remaining from such proceeds.

SECTION 15.    Indemnity and Expenses.

(a)    Grantors jointly and severally agree to indemnify Secured Party from and against any and all claims, losses and liabilities in any way relating to, growing out of or resulting from this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including, without limitation, enforcement of this Agreement), except to the extent such claims, losses or liabilities result solely from Secured Party's gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

(b)    Grantors jointly and severally agree to pay to Secured Party upon demand the amount of any and all costs and expenses, including the fees and expenses of counsel and of any experts and agents, that Secured Party may incur in connection with the custody or preservation of the Collateral, the exercise of rights or remedies hereunder or the failure by any Grantor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.

(c)    The obligations of Grantors in this Section 15 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the discharge of Grantors' other obligations under this Agreement and documents related to the Secured Obligations (the “Secured Obligation Documents”).

SECTION 16.    Amendments; Etc.

No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by any Grantor therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Secured Party and, in the case of any such amendment or modification, by Grantors. Any such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given.

SECTION 18.    Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver; Remedies Cumulative; Severability.

(a)    No failure or delay on the part of Secured Party in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.

(b)    Upon the payment in full of all Secured Obligations, the security interest granted hereby shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to Grantors.
