                              --------------------
License Assignment Consent has not been obtained as of the Closing, the Seller
shall grant to the Acquiror an exclusive sublicense under the Licensed

                  Section 2.8 Clinical Results Option. Notwithstanding anything

to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, in the event that the Acquiror so
elects by giving written notice thereof to the Seller prior to the Closing
(the "CLINICAL RESULTS OPTION"), the Seller shall have the right to retain a
copy of all pre-clinical and clinical trial data results obtained in the
course of the development of Evamist and all Evamist Product Registrations
(collectively, the "DATA PACKAGE"), which Seller shall have the right to sell
and transfer to a third party for such third party's use, modification,
reference and disclosure solely in connection with such third party seeking
regulatory approval to market and commercialize one or more pharmaceutical
products consisting of MDTS containing Estradiol or any other Estrogen, which
product is controlled or developed by or on behalf of such third party, in the
European Union (the "APPROVED USES"); provided, however, any such sale and
transfer of the Data Package shall (i) be subject to standard and customary
confidentiality obligations that limit the use thereof to the Approved Uses
and to Persons subject to similar confidentiality obligations, except in the
case of disclosure to Governmental or Regulatory Authorities which disclosure
would as a matter of Law be maintained as confidential, and (ii) provide that
the third party purchaser of such Data Package may not license, sell, dispose
or otherwise transfer the Data Package to any other Person without the prior
written consent of Acquiror (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld
conditioned or delayed), except to the extent reasonably necessary to enable
the Approved Uses (provided such usage does not involve a further transfer of
ownership of the Data Package) and in all events subject to the
confidentiality obligations described in clause (i) above. For clarity, Seller
shall have the right to retain any and all consideration obtained from such
sale and transfer of the Data Package.

                  such verification shall be carried out under customary
                  conditions of confidentiality. If the accounting firm
                  determines that additional amounts were payable, the
                  Acquiror shall have ten (10) Business Days from the delivery
                  of such accounting firm's written report to submit
                  additional information to the accounting firm, and the
                  accounting firm will take such additional information under
                  consideration for a period not to exceed ten (10) Business
                  Days. Thereafter, if the accounting firm finally determines
                  that Acquiror owes any additional amounts to Seller, such
                  amount shall be paid within ten (10) Business Days of such
                  determination, plus interest on such amount (from the date
                  such amount was originally due under this Agreement) at the
                  six month LIBOR rate as reported by the East Coast Edition
                  of the Wall Street Journal on the date such payment is due.
                  The fees charged by such accounting firm shall be paid by
                  the Seller, provided, however, that if the audit discloses
                  that additional amounts were owed to the Seller, then the
                  Acquiror shall reimburse the Seller for the fees and
                  expenses charged by such accounting firm.

                  Section 4.3 Allocation of Purchase Price. The Purchase Price
                              ----------------------------
shall be allocated among the Purchased Assets, the grant of the license under
the Seller Multi-Application Technology pursuant to Section 2.5 and, as
                                                    -----------
applicable, the grant of the sublicense pursuant to the Sublicense Agreement
in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations
promulgated thereunder, and the Acquiror and the Seller agree to (a) be bound
by the allocation, (b) act in accordance with the allocation in the
preparation of financial statements and filing of all Tax Returns (including,
without limitation, filing Internal Revenue Service Form 8594 with their
United States federal income Tax Return for the taxable year that includes the
date of the Closing) and in the course of any Tax audit, Tax review or Tax
litigation relating thereto, and (c) take no position and cause their
Affiliates to take no position inconsistent with the allocation for income Tax
purposes, including United States federal and state income Tax and foreign
income Tax, unless otherwise required pursuant to a "determination" within the
meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code. The Acquiror shall initially determine
and send written Notice to the Seller of the allocation of the Purchase Price
within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date. The Seller will be deemed to
have accepted such allocation unless it provides written Notice of
disagreement to the Acquiror within ten (10) days after the receipt of the
Seller's Notice of allocation. If the Seller provides such Notice of
disagreement to the Acquiror, the parties shall proceed in good faith to
determine the allocation in dispute. If, within ten (10) days after the
Acquiror receive the Seller's Notice of disagreement, the parties have not
reached agreement, the Accountants shall be engaged to determine the final
allocation in dispute. The Seller and the Acquiror shall share equally the
fees of such Accountants. Not later than thirty (30) days prior to the filing
of their respective Internal Revenue Service Forms 8594 relating to this
transaction, each party shall deliver to the other party a copy of its
Internal Revenue Service Form 8594.

"DESIGNATED ACQUIROR SUBSIDIARY") to purchase all or any of the Purchased
Assets or assume all or any of the Assumed Liabilities so long as Acquiror
shall remain liable for all of its liabilities and obligations hereunder and
under the Related Agreements; provided, however, that Acquiror shall not be
permitted to make such a designation if such designation would, or would
reasonably be expected to, (i) result in any material costs, or any material
liabilities, to the Seller or its Subsidiaries (including but not limited to
any liability for Taxes, regardless of materiality and whether withheld at the

they are now being conducted, except where the failure to be so qualified or
in good standing would not be reasonably expected to have a Seller Material

of the Seller that have been delivered to the Acquiror on or prior to the date
hereof are effective under applicable Laws

are necessary to authorize this Agreement and the Related Agreements and the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. This Agreement has been duly and
validly executed and delivered by the Seller and, when executed and delivered
by the Acquiror, will constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of the
Seller, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms. When executed and
delivered by the Seller, each Related Agreement will constitute a legal, valid
and binding obligation of the Seller enforceable against it in accordance with
its terms. Notwithstanding the matters set forth in this Section 6.2, the

                                    (vii) take any action that would, or that
                  could reasonably be expected to, result in any of the

                                          ---------------
                  date hereof, each of the parties hereto shall use its
                  commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be
                  taken, all action, or to do, or cause to be done, all things
                  necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws to
                  consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated
                  by this Agreement and the Related Agreements and to cause
                  the conditions to the obligations of the other party hereto
                  to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby to be
                  satisfied at the Closing, including obtaining all consents
                  and approvals of all Persons and Governmental or Regulatory
                  Authorities and removing any injunctions or other
                  Encumbrances on the Purchased Assets, impairments or delays
                  the obtaining or removal of which are necessary, proper or
                  advisable to the consummation of the transactions
                  contemplated by this Agreement and the Related Agreements.
                  The parties hereto shall cooperate with each other in
                  connection with the taking of all actions referenced in the
                  preceding sentence, including providing (i) such reasonable
                  assistance as the other party may request in connection with

                  to review in advance, and, to the extent practicable, each
                  shall consult the other on, all the information relating to
                  the Seller or the Acquiror, as the case may be, that appears
                  in any filing made with, or written materials submitted to,
                  any third party and/or any Governmental Entity in connection
                  with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement

                                                             --------------
                  The Seller and the Acquiror may, as each deems reasonably
                  advisable and necessary, designate any competitively
                  sensitive information provided to the other under this
                  section as "outside counsel only." Such information shall be
                  given only to outside counsel of the recipient. In addition,
                  the Seller and the Acquiror may redact any information from
                  such documents shared with the other party or its counsel
                  that is not pertinent to the subject matter of the filing or
                  submission.

                           (b) The Acquiror and the Seller shall each: (i)
                  take all actions necessary to make the filing required of
                  such party or any of its Affiliates under the HSR Act within
                  ten (10) Business Days after the date hereof; (ii) comply at
                  the earliest practicable date with any request for
                  additional information or documentary material received by
                  such party or any of its Affiliates from the Federal Trade
                  Commission or the Antitrust Division of the Department of
                  Justice pursuant to the HSR Act; and (iii) cooperate with
                  the other party in connection with any filing under the HSR
                  Act and in connection with resolving any investigation or
                  other inquiry concerning the transactions contemplated under
                  this Agreement commenced by either the Federal Trade
                  Commission or the Antitrust Division of the Department of
                  Justice or state attorneys general. Each of the Seller, on
                  one hand, and the Acquiror, on the other hand, shall be
                  responsible for its own legal fees for preparing its portion
                  of the HSR Act

                  filings. For the avoidance of doubt, the Acquiror and Seller
                  shall share equally any required filing fees under the HSR
                  Act.

                           (c) In furtherance and not in limitation of the
                  other covenants of the parties contained herein, each party
                  shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve such
                  objections, if any, as may be asserted with respect to the
                  consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby under
                  any antitrust Law. If any administrative, judicial or
                  legislative Action or Proceeding is instituted (or
                  threatened to be instituted) challenging the sale and
                  purchase of any of the Purchased Assets or any other
                  transaction as violative of any antitrust Law, each party
                  shall cooperate and use commercially reasonable efforts to
                  vigorously contest and resist any such Action or Proceeding,
                  and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any
                  decree, judgment, injunction or other Order that is in
                  effect and that restricts, prevents or prohibits
                  consummation of the sale and purchase of the Purchased
                  Assets or any other transaction contemplated under this
                  Agreement; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement
                  shall require the Acquiror or its Subsidiaries to commit to
                  any divestitures, licenses or hold separate or similar
                  arrangements with respect to its assets or conduct of
                  business arrangements, whether as a condition to obtaining
                  any approval from a Governmental and Regulatory Authority or
                  any other Person for any other reason.

                           (d) Each party shall promptly inform the other
                  parties of any material communication received by such party
                  from the Federal Trade Commission or the Antitrust Division
                  of the Department of Justice regarding any of the
                  transactions contemplated under this Agreement. Each party
                  shall advise the other party promptly of any understandings,
                  undertakings or agreements that such party proposes to make
                  or enter into with the Federal Trade Commission or the
                  Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice in
                  connection with the transactions contemplated under this
                  Agreement.

                           (e) The Seller shall (i) permit the Acquiror and
                  its Subsidiaries to correspond and meet with the FDA to
                  discuss the acquisition by the Acquiror of all Evamist
                  Product Registrations and the transfer of manufacturing and
                  distribution of Evamist to the Acquiror, (ii) include the
                  Acquiror in any discussions with the FDA regarding any
                  Evamist Product Registration, (iii) if reasonably requested
                  by the Acquiror, upon reasonable notice, attend meetings or
                  conference calls involving the Acquiror or one of its
                  Subsidiaries and the FDA related to any of the foregoing and
                  (iv) cooperate with Acquiror by submitting a transfer letter
                  to the FDA, in a form to be mutually agreed upon by the

                  substitution, approval or amendment required to assign or
                  transfer any Purchased Asset to the Acquiror. In the event
                  any such consent, substitution, approval or amendment is not
                  obtained prior to the Closing, the Seller shall continue to

                  that the Acrux License Assignment Consent is obtained after

                              -----------------------

                           (a) From the date hereof until the Closing, the
                  Seller shall permit the Acquiror and its representatives to
                  have reasonable access, during regular business hours and
                  upon reasonable advance notice of no less than one (1)
                  Business Day , to all the personnel, properties, Contracts,
                  Tax Returns, the Evamist Books and Records, the Assumed
                  Liabilities or the Evamist Business, and the Seller shall
                  furnish promptly to the Acquiror such information in the
                  Seller's possession concerning the Purchased Assets, the
                  Assumed Liabilities or the Evamist Business as the Acquiror
                  may reasonably request; provided, however, that any such
                  access shall be conducted in a manner as not to unreasonably
                  interfere with the operation of the Evamist Business and the
                  Seller shall not be required to provide any financial,
                  operating or other information that is not currently
                  available through the Seller's existing business processes
                  and the creation of which would be unduly burdensome on the
                  Seller. The Seller may redact such portions of its books and
                  records that do not relate to the Purchased Assets, the
                  Assumed Liabilities or the Evamist Business. The Seller
                  shall instruct its respective employees, counsel and
                  financial advisors to provide reasonable cooperation to the
                  Acquiror in its investigation of the Evamist Business.

                           (b) The Seller shall implement procedures to keep
                  confidential, and cause its Affiliates and its and their
                  officers, directors, employees, representatives and advisors
                  to keep confidential, all information relating to the
                  Purchased Assets, Assumed Liabilities and Evamist Business,
                  except as required by Law and except for information which
                  is or becomes generally available to the public other than
                  as a result of a disclosure by the Seller or its Affiliates
                  and its and their officers, directors, employees,
                  representatives or agents. The Seller shall not disseminate
                  any such information other than to

                  those employees of the Seller who have a business need to
                  access such information (i) in connection with the
                  preparation of the Seller's accounting records, (ii) in
                  connection with the preparation of any Tax Returns or with
                  any Tax audits, (iii) in connection with any suit, claim,
                  action, proceeding or investigation relating to the
                  Purchased Assets, the Assumed Liabilities or the Evamist
                  Business or (iv) in connection with the operation of the
                  Evamist Business in the Ordinary Course of Business prior to
                  the Closing. Effective upon Closing, upon written request of
                  the Acquiror, from time to time, the Seller shall (at the
                  Acquiror's sole cost and expense) use reasonable efforts to
                  enforce the Seller's rights with respect to the use and
                  maintenance of confidential information relating to the
                  Evamist Business under all confidentiality agreements
                  between the Seller and any other potential acquiror of the
                  Evamist Business that were entered into in contemplation of
                  the sale of the Evamist Business. The Seller shall not waive
                  or release its rights under such confidentiality agreements
                  with respect to the use and maintenance of such confidential
                  information with respect to the Evamist Business.

                           (c) Information within the Purchased Assets

                  (including in the Seller Disclosure Schedule and the other
                  Schedules delivered pursuant to this Agreement) shall be
                  held as Confidential Information (as defined in the
                  Confidentiality Agreement) and shall be subject to the
                  Confidentiality Agreement to the extent such information is
                  Confidential Information as of the date hereof.

                           (d) The parties hereto, or any of their respective
                  Affiliates or any of their respective officers or directors,
                  shall cooperate as may be reasonably required in connection
                  with the investigation and defense of any suit, action,
                  claim, proceeding or investigation, in each case that is
                  adverse to a third party, relating to the Purchased Assets,
                  the Assumed Liabilities or the Evamist Business; provided,
                  however, that the requesting party shall reimburse the
                  non-requesting party promptly for all reasonable
                  out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with
                  any such requests, including reasonable legal fees and
                  costs.

                           (e) Following the Closing, for so long as such
                  information is retained by the Seller (which shall be for a
                  period of at least three (3) years), the Seller shall permit
                  the Acquiror and its authorized representatives to have
                  reasonable access and duplicating rights during normal
                  business hours, upon reasonable prior notice, to the Seller
                  and its books, records and personnel to the extent relating
                  to the Purchased Assets, the Assumed Liabilities or the
                  Evamist Business, to the extent such access may reasonably
                  be required: (i) in connection with the preparation of the
                  Acquiror's accounting records or with any audits thereof,
                  (ii) in connection with any suit, claim, action, proceeding
                  or investigation relating to the Purchased Assets, the
                  Assumed Liabilities or the Evamist Business (other than such
                  a suit, claim, action, proceeding or investigation that is
                  adverse to the Seller) or (iii) in connection with any
                  required regulatory filing relating to the Purchased Assets,
                  the Assumed

                  Acquiror shall reimburse the Seller promptly for all
                  reasonable and necessary out-of-pocket costs and expenses
                  incurred by the Seller in connection with any such request.
                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller need not disclose
                  to the Acquiror any information: (i) relating to pricing or
                  other matters that are highly sensitive if (I) providing
                  such portions of documents or information, in the good faith
                  opinion of the Seller's counsel, would reasonably be
                  expected to result in antitrust difficulties for the Seller
                  and (II) the Seller designates such information as "outside
                  counsel and retained experts only" and discloses such
                  information to Acquiror's outside counsel and retained
                  experts; or (ii) which the Seller is prohibited from
                  disclosing by applicable Law. If any material is withheld by
                  the Seller pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence,
                  the Seller shall inform the Acquiror as to the general
                  nature of what is being withheld. The Seller may redact such
                  portions of such books and records that do not relate to the
                  Purchased Assets, the Assumed Liabilities or the Evamist
                  Business.

                           (f) Following the Closing, for so long as such
                  information is retained by Acquiror (which shall be for a
                  period of at least three (3) years), the Acquiror shall

                  claim, action, proceeding or investigation that is adverse
                  to the Acquiror) or (iii) in connection with any required
                  regulatory filing relating to the Purchased Assets, the
                  Assumed Liabilities or the Evamist Business; provided that
                  the Seller shall reimburse the Acquiror promptly for all
                  reasonable and necessary out-of-pocket costs and expenses

                  request, including reasonable attorney fees and costs.
                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Acquiror need not
                  disclose to the Seller any information: (A) relating to
                  pricing or other matters that are highly sensitive if (I)
                  providing such portions of documents or information, in the
                  opinion of the Acquiror's counsel, might reasonably result
                  in antitrust difficulties for the Acquiror and (II) the
                  Acquiror designates such information as "outside counsel and

                  Section 8.7 Covenant Not to Compete.
                              -----------------------

                           (a) The Seller understands that Acquiror shall be
                  entitled to protect and preserve the going concern value of
                  the Evamist Business following the Closing to the extent
                  permitted by Law and that the Acquiror would not have
                  entered into this Agreement absent the provisions of this
                  Section 8.7 and, therefore, for the period from the date
                  -----------
                  hereof until *** following the First Commercial Sale by or
                  under authority of the Acquiror of Evamist in the Evamist
                  Territory (the "APPLICABLE PERIOD"), the Seller and its
                  Subsidiaries shall not, directly or indirectly, market,
                  promote, sell or import any Competing Products for use in
                  the Evamist Territory. As used herein, "COMPETING PRODUCT"
                  means ***. The Seller and its Subsidiaries shall not provide
                  funding during the Applicable Period to third parties for
                  the specific purpose of, or grant a license or other
                  authorization to any third party for, marketing, selling,
                  promoting or importing any Competing Product for use in the
                  Evamist Territory.

                           (b) If a court determines that the foregoing
                  restrictions are too broad or otherwise unreasonable under
                  applicable Law, including with respect to time or space, the
                  court is hereby requested and authorized by the parties to
                  revise the foregoing restriction to include the maximum
                  restrictions allowable under applicable Law. Each of the
                  parties acknowledges, however, that this Section 8.7 has
                                                           -----------
                  been negotiated by the parties and that the Evamist
                  Territory and the Applicable Period are reasonable in light
                  of the circumstances pertaining to the parties.

                           (c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this
                  Agreement, it is understood and agreed that the remedy of
                  indemnity payments pursuant to Article XI and other remedies
                                                 ----------
                  at law would be inadequate in the case of any breach of the
                  covenants contained in Section 8.7, and, accordingly, the
                                         -----------
                  Acquiror shall be entitled to equitable relief, including
                  the remedy of specific performance, with respect to any
                  breach or attempted breach of such covenants.

                           (d) For the avoidance of doubt, if any Person
                  acquires Control of the Seller, whether by stock purchase,
                  merger or other transaction, no provision of this Section 8.7
                                                                    -----------

                  assets of the Seller are used to further the marketing, sale
                  or promotion of a Competing Product by such acquiror, or any
                  of its Affiliates.

                  with respect to Taxes pertaining to the Purchased Assets,
                  for a period of at least six (6) years following the Closing
                  Date. At the end of such period, each party shall provide

                  hand, further agree, upon request, to use their commercially

                  the Seller shall be responsible for and shall promptly pay
                  when due all Taxes levied with respect to the Purchased
                  Assets attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period. All Taxes
                  levied with respect to the Purchased Assets for any Straddle
                  Period shall be apportioned between the Pre-Closing Tax
                  Period and the Post-Closing Tax Period, as follows:

                  portion allocable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be
                  deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire Straddle
                  Period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is
                  the number of days in the Tax period ending on the Closing
                  Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in
                  the entire Straddle Period, and

                                    (ii) in the case of any Tax based upon or
                  related to income or receipts, the portion allocable to the
                  Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be deemed equal to the amount
                  which would be payable if the relevant Straddle Period ended
                  on the Closing Date.

Upon receipt of any bill for such Taxes relating to the Purchased Assets, the
Acquiror, on one hand, and the Seller, on the other hand, shall present a
statement to the other setting forth the amount of reimbursement to which each
is entitled under this Section 8.12 together with such supporting evidence as
                       ------------
is reasonably necessary to calculate the proration amount. The proration
amount shall be paid by the party owing it to the other within ten (10) days
after delivery of such statement. In the event that the Acquiror or the Seller
shall make any payment for which it is entitled to reimbursement under this
Section 8.12, the applicable party shall make such reimbursement promptly but
------------
in no event later than ten (10) days after the presentation of a statement
setting forth the amount of reimbursement to which the presenting party is
entitled along with such supporting evidence as is reasonably necessary to
calculate the amount of reimbursement.

                  party demonstrates that such failure to notify directly
                  increases the amount to be indemnified hereunder. Each
                  Indemnification Claim Notice must contain a description of
                  the claim and the nature and amount of such Damages (to the
                  extent that the nature and amount of such Damages are known
                  at such time). The Indemnified Party shall furnish promptly
                  to the indemnifying party copies of all papers and official
                  documents received in respect of any Damages. All
                  indemnification claims in respect of a party, its Affiliates
                  or their respective directors, officers, employees and
                  agents (collectively, the "INDEMNITEES" and each an
                  "INDEMNITEE") shall be made solely by such party to this
                  Agreement (the "INDEMNIFIED PARTY").

                           (d) Third Party Claims. The obligations of an
                               ------------------
                  indemnifying party under this Section 11.2(d) with respect
                                                ---------------
                  to Damages arising from claims of any third party that are
                  subject to indemnification as provided for in Section
                                                                -------

                  or Section 11.2(b) (a "THIRD PARTY CLAIM") shall be governed
                     ---------------
                  by and be contingent upon the following additional terms and
                  conditions:

                                    (i) At its option, the indemnifying party
                  may assume the defense of any Third Party Claim by giving
                  written Notice to the Indemnified Party within ten (10) days
                  after the indemnifying party's receipt of an Indemnification
                  Claim Notice. The assumption of the defense of a Third Party
                  Claim by the indemnifying party shall be construed as an
                  acknowledgment that the indemnifying party is liable to
                  indemnify any Indemnitee in respect of the Third Party
                  Claim. Upon assuming the defense of a Third Party Claim, the
                  indemnifying party may appoint as lead counsel in the
                  defense of the Third Party Claim any legal counsel selected
                  by the indemnifying party; provided, however, that such
                  counsel is reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party,
                  provided, further, that in the event that (i) a conflict of
                  interest arises between the indemnifying party and the
                  Indemnified Party such that such legal counsel cannot
                  represent both the indemnifying party and the Indemnified
                  Party or (ii) the Indemnitee has been advised in writing by
                  counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses
                  available to the Indemnitee Party that are different from or
                  in addition to that of the indemnifying party, the
                  Indemnitee may retain its own legal counsel at the expense
                  of the indemnifying party and the indemnifying party and its
                  counsel shall cooperate with the Indemnified Party and its
                  counsel, as may be reasonably requested. Except as set forth
                  above, should the indemnifying party assume the defense of a
                  Third Party Claim, the indemnifying party shall not be
                  liable to the Indemnified Party or any other Indemnitee for
                  any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified
                  Party or other Indemnitee in connection with the analysis,
                  defense or settlement of the Third Party Claim.

                                    (ii) Without limiting Section 11.2(d)(i),
                                                          ------------------
                  any Indemnitee shall be entitled to participate in, but not
                  control, the defense of such Third Party Claim and to employ
                  counsel of its choice for such purpose; provided, however,
                  that such employment shall be at the Indemnitee's sole cost
                  and expense, except as described in Section 11.2(d)(i),
                                                      ------------------
                  unless (A) the employment thereof has been specifically
                  authorized by the indemnifying party in writing, or (B) the
                  indemnifying party has failed to assume the defense and
                  employ counsel in accordance with Section 11.2(d)(i) (in
                                                    ------------------
                  which case the Indemnified Party shall control the defense).

                                    (iii) With respect to any Damages relating
                  solely to the payment of money damages in connection with a
                  Third Party Claim and that will not result in the
                  Indemnitee's or the Indemnified Party's becoming subject to
                  injunctive or other relief for other than money damages, and
                  as to which the indemnifying party shall have acknowledged
                  in writing the obligation to indemnify the Indemnitee
                  hereunder, the indemnifying party shall have the sole right
                  to consent to the entry of any judgment, enter into any
                  settlement or otherwise dispose of such Damages, on such
                  terms as the indemnifying party, in its sole discretion,
                  shall deem appropriate, provided that, as a result of or in

                                      57

<PAGE>
<PAGE>

                  connection with any such settlement each Indemnitee or
                  Indemnified Party shall receive a full release with respect
                  to such claim. The indemnifying party shall not be liable
                  for any settlement or other disposition of Damages by an
                  Indemnitee or Indemnified Party that is reached without the
                  written consent of the indemnifying party, which consent
                  shall not be unreasonably withheld. If the indemnifying
                  party chooses to defend or prosecute any Third Party Claim,
                  no Indemnitee or Indemnified Party shall admit any liability
                  with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, any
                  Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the
                  indemnifying party, which consent shall not be unreasonably
                  withheld.

                                    (iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
                  indemnifying party shall not be entitled to assume the
                  defense of any Third Party Claim (and shall be liable for
                  the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel incurred by the
                  Indemnified Party in defending such Third Party Claim) if
                  the Third Party Claim seeks an order, injunction or other
                  equitable relief or relief for other than money damages
                  against the Indemnified Party that the Indemnified Party
                  reasonably determines cannot be separated from any related
                  claim for money damages. If such equitable relief or other
                  relief portion of the Third Party Claim can be so separated
                  from that for money damages, the indemnifying party shall be
                  entitled to assume the defense of the portion relating to
                  money damages.

                                    (v) Regardless of whether the indemnifying
                  party chooses to defend or prosecute any Third Party Claim,
                  the Indemnified Party and the indemnifying party shall, and
                  shall cause each other Indemnitee or Affiliate of the
                  indemnifying party, as applicable, to, cooperate in the
                  defense or prosecution thereof and shall furnish such
                  records, information and testimony, provide such witnesses
                  and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings,
                  hearings, trials and appeals as may be reasonably requested
                  in connection therewith. Such cooperation shall include
                  access during normal business hours afforded to the
                  indemnifying party or Indemnified Party, as applicable, to,
                  and reasonable retention by each such Person of, records and
                  information that are reasonably relevant to such Third Party
                  Claim, and making each such Person and other employees and
                  agents available on a mutually convenient basis to provide
                  additional information and explanation of any material
                  provided hereunder, and the indemnifying party shall
                  reimburse each such Person for all its reasonable
                  out-of-pocket expenses in connection therewith.

                           (e) Other Claims. In the event any Indemnified
                               ------------
                  Party has a claim against any indemnifying party under
                  Section 11.2(a) or 11.2(b) that does not involve a Third
                  ---------------    -------
                  Party Claim being asserted against or sought to be collected
                  from such Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall
                  deliver an Indemnification Claim Notice regarding such claim
                  with reasonable promptness to the indemnifying party. The
                  failure by any Indemnified Party so to notify the
                  indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party
                  from any liability that it may have to such Indemnified
                  Party under Section 11.2(a) or 11.2(b),
                              ---------------    -------

<PAGE>
<PAGE>

                  except to the extent that the indemnifying party
                  demonstrates that such failure to notify directly increased
                  the amount to be indemnified hereunder. If the indemnifying
                  party does not notify the Indemnified Party within ten (10)
                  calendar days following its receipt of such notice that the
                  indemnifying party disputes its liability to the Indemnified
                  Party under Section 11.2(a) or 11.2(b), such claim specified
                              ---------------    -------
                  by the Indemnified Party in such notice shall be
                  conclusively deemed a Liability of the indemnifying party
                  under Section 11.2(a) or 11.2(b) and the indemnifying party
                        ---------------    -------
                  shall pay the amount of such Liability to the Indemnified
                  Party on demand or, in the case of any notice in which the
                  amount of the claim (or any portion thereof) is estimated,
                  on such later date when the amount of such claim (or such
                  portion thereof) becomes finally determined.

                           (f) Effect of Investigation or Knowledge. Any claim
                               ------------------------------------
                  by the Acquiror or its Affiliates or any of their respective
                  directors, officers, employees or agents for indemnification
                  shall not be adversely affected by any investigation by or
                  opportunity to investigate afforded to the Acquiror, nor
                  shall such a claim be adversely affected by the Acquiror's
                  Knowledge on or before the Closing Date of any breach of the
                  type specified in this Section 11.2 or of any state of facts
                                         ------------
                  that may give rise to such a breach. The waiver of any
                  condition based on the accuracy of any representation or
                  warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any
                  covenant or obligation, will not adversely affect the right
                  to indemnification, payment of Damages or other remedy based
                  on such representations, warranties, covenants or
                  obligations.

                  Section 11.3 Limitations.
                               -----------

                           (a) In no event shall the Seller or the Acquiror be
                  liable for any Damages pursuant to Section 11.2(a) or
                                                     ---------------
                  11.2(b), as applicable, unless and until the aggregate
                  -------
                  amount of all such Damages exceeds $100,000 (the "LIABILITY
                  THRESHOLD"), in which case the Seller or the Acquiror, as
                  applicable, shall be liable for all such Damages in excess
                  of the Liability Threshold, and then not for any Damages in
                  excess of the then applicable Liability Cap for all claims
                  made under such Section 11.2(a) or 11.2(b), as applicable,
                                  ---------------    -------
                  in the aggregate; provided, however, that: (A) for purposes
                  of claims made by the Acquiror under Sections 11.2(a)(iii),
                                                       ---------------------
                  11.2(a)(iv) or 11.2(a)(v), the Seller shall be liable for
                  -----------    ----------
                  all Damages suffered by the Acquiror without regard to the
                  Liability Threshold or Liability Cap; (B) for purposes of
                  claims made by the Seller under Section 11.2(b)(iii), the
                                                  --------------------
                  Acquiror shall be liable for all Damages suffered by the
                  Seller without regard to the Liability Threshold or
                  Liability Cap; and (C) for purposes of claims made by a
                  party due to the other party's fraud or willful misconduct,
                  such party shall be liable for all Damages suffered by the
                  other party without regard to the Liability Threshold or
                  Liability Cap.

                           (b) Each party agrees that it shall, and shall
                  cause the applicable Indemnitees to, use its or their
                  commercially reasonable efforts to secure payment from
                  insurance policies available and in existence that provide

                  amount of any Damages recoverable by a party under Section
                                                                     -------
                  11.2 shall be reduced by the amount of any insurance

                  proceeds actually paid to the Indemnified Party or the
                  Indemnitee, as applicable, relating to such claim.

                           (c) THE INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES
                  HERETO SHALL NOT EXTEND TO PUNITIVE DAMAGES OR TO ANY
                  INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL OR INDIRECT DAMAGES,
                  INCLUDING BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOSS OF FUTURE REVENUE,
                  DIMINUTION IN VALUE, PROFITS OR INCOME, OR LOSS OF BUSINESS

or willful misconduct, the sole and exclusive remedy of each party with
respect to any and all claims for any breach of any representation, warranty,
covenant or other claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, whether
arising in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be the indemnification
provisions of this Article XI, provided, however, that the provisions of this
Article XI shall not restrict the right of any party to seek specific
performance or other equitable remedies in connection with any breach of any
of the covenants contained in this Agreement or any of the Related Agreements.

his Agreement may be terminated at any time:

                           (a) by mutual written agreement of the Seller and
                  the Acquiror;

                           (b) by either the Seller or the Acquiror if the
                  Closing shall not have occurred by June 1, 2007; provided,
                  however, that the right to terminate the Agreement pursuant
                  to this Section 12.1(b) shall not be available to a party if
