SECTION 2.5Consideration;
    Purchase Price; Allocation of Purchase Price.


|(a) | Subject to the terms
      and conditions of this Agreement, in consideration of the transfer of the
      Acquired Assets under Section 2.1 and the purchase of the Business hereunder,
      Purchaser on its own behalf and, as applicable, as agent for any designated

      for each of the Selling Subsidiaries an amount up to Thirty Two Million
      Five Hundred Thousand Euros (32,500,000). An amount equal to Twenty
      Five Million Euros (25,000,000) shall be paid at Closing, (the Initial
      Payment). The Initial Payment shall be paid to Seller (or
      as Seller may direct) by wire transfer of immediately available funds in
      Euros to an account or accounts designated and communicated to Purchaser
      by Seller at least two Business Days before the Closing Date. Subsequent
      to the Closing, payments of up to an additional Seven Million Five Hundred
      Thousand Euros (7,500,000) shall be made to Seller as provided in
      Section 2.7 (each, a Subsequent Payment and collectively,
      the Subsequent Payments).
|--- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(b) | Seller and Purchaser
      agree that the sum of the Initial Payment and the Assumed Liabilities shall
      be allocated among the Acquired Assets sold by Seller and the Selling Subsidiaries
      in the manner set forth in Exhibit C-1; and the Subsequent Closing
      Purchase Price Payments will be allocated in the manner set forth in Exhibit
      C-2. Within 60 days following the determination of any adjustment pursuant
      to Section 2.6 to the Initial Closing Price Payment, Seller and Purchaser
      shall attempt in good faith to agree upon the allocation of such adjustment.
      The allocation of such adjustment shall take into account the item or items
      to which it is attributable and shall, to the extent such allocation is
      agreed by Seller and Purchaser, be reflected on a revised Exhibit C-1.
      Purchaser shall (and Purchaser shall cause each relevant Subsidiary of Purchaser
      to) and Seller shall (and Seller shall cause each Selling Subsidiary to)
      report the federal, state, local and foreign income and other Tax consequences

      Code (or any comparable provision of state, local or foreign Law), neither
      Purchaser nor Seller (nor any relevant Subsidiary of Purchaser or any Selling
      Subsidiary) shall take a position inconsistent with such allocations on
      any Tax Return (including any forms required to be filed pursuant to Section
      1060 of the Code), or otherwise. Within a reasonable period before the due
      date of such statements, each of Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate with
      the other in preparing IRS Form 8594 or any equivalent statements required
      by any Governmental Authority charged with collection of any Tax.

      to Purchaser and executed by an executive officer of Seller, setting forth
      Sellers good-faith calculation, as of the Closing Date of the Working
      Capital value allocable to the Business (Estimated Working Capital
      Value).
| | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(b) | In the event that Accounts
      Payable included within Estimated Working Capital Value is more than [. . .]
      (the Maximum Liabilities Value), then the Cash
      Amount shall be increased by the amount by which the Accounts Payable exceed
      the Maximum Liabilities Value (the Additional Cash Amount) on
      a Euro for Euro basis.
|--- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(c) | Within 60 days following
      the Closing Date, Seller will prepare and deliver to Purchaser a certificate
      executed by an executive officer of Seller, setting forth Sellers
      calculation of the final Working Capital allocable to the business at the
      Closing (the Closing Working Capital Value).
|--- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(d) | Unless, within 30 days
      after delivery of the certificate to Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.6(b),
      Purchaser delivers to Seller a notice setting forth, in reasonable detail,
      any good faith dispute as to the Closing Working Capital Value and the basis
      for such dispute (a Dispute Notice), the Closing
      Working Capital Value shall be deemed accepted by Purchaser and shall be
      final and binding.
|--- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(e) | For 30 days after Sellers
      receipt of a Dispute Notice, the parties hereto shall endeavor in good faith
      to resolve by mutual agreement such disagreement regarding the Closing Working
      Capital Value. If the parties are unable to resolve the matter within such
      30-day period, Purchaser and Seller shall agree on an independent accounting
      firm or have such selection made pursuant to the rules of the ICC, as applicable,
      to resolve the dispute. Fees and expenses relating to the engagement of
      the reviewing accounting firm shall be borne equally by Seller and Purchaser,
      provided that, if the reviewing accounting firm determines that one partys
      statement of the Working Capital value of the Business as of the Closing
      Date is entirely accurate, then such party shall pay none of the fees, costs
      and expenses of the reviewing accounting firm and the other party shall
      pay all such fees, costs and expenses.
|--- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(f) | Purchaser and Seller
      shall instruct the reviewing accounting firm to resolve the disputed matters
      as promptly as practicable. The parties hereto shall cooperate with each
      other and the reviewing accounting firm in connection with the matters set
      forth in this Section 2.6, including by furnishing such information as may
      be reasonably requested. Each party hereto shall afford the other party
      the opportunity to participate in all communications with the reviewing
      accounting firm. The determination of the reviewing accounting firm shall
      be final and binding and no party shall seek recourse to courts, other tribunals
      or otherwise, other than to collect any amounts due under this Section 2.6.
      Judgment may be entered to enforce the reviewing accounting firms
      determination in any court having jurisdiction over the party against which
      such determination is to be enforced.

|(g) | Within 10 Business
      Days after the Closing Working Capital Value has been finally determined
      pursuant to this Section 2.6, in the event that the Closing Working Capital
      Value includes Accounts Payable more than the Maximum Liabilities Value,

      Cash Amount has been paid pursuant to Section 2.6(b), then Seller shall
      only be required to pay Purchaser the difference between the Accounts Payable
      included in the Closing Working Capital Value and the Accounts Payable included
      in the Estimated Working Capital Value. All payments under this Section
      2.6 shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds in Euros
      to an account designated by Purchaser in writing.

    organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of its jurisdiction
    of incorporation and has all requisite corporate or similar power and authority

    that are or will be parties to any of the Ancillary Agreements is duly licensed
    or qualified to do business in each jurisdiction in which the properties owned
    or leased by it or the operation of its business makes such licensing or qualification
    necessary, except to the extent that the failure to be so licensed or qualified
    would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect upon Purchasers
    ability to carry out its obligations under this Agreement and the Ancillary
    Agreements.


SECTION 4.2 Authority.
    Each of Purchaser and, if applicable, in the case of the Ancillary Agreements,
    each of its Subsidiaries that is or will be a party thereto, has full corporate
    or similar power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and the
    Ancillary Agreements and each other agreement, document, instrument or certificate
    contemplated hereby or to be executed by Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries
    in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby
    and thereby (all of such agreements, documents, instruments and certificates
    referred to, collectively, as the Purchaser Documents),
    to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder and to consummate the
    transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. The execution, delivery and
    performance by Purchaser and, if applicable, of any of its Subsidiaries of
    this Agreement, Ancillary Agreements or Purchaser Documents have been duly
    authorized by all requisite corporate or similar action on the part of Purchaser

    (assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by Seller and, if applicable,
    by each Selling Subsidiary that is a party thereto) this Agreement, and each
    Ancillary Agreement to which Purchaser or, if, any of its Subsidiaries is
    or will be a party, constitutes or, when so executed and delivered, will constitute,
    legal, valid and binding obligations of each of Purchaser and, if applicable,
    any of such applicable Subsidiary of Purchaser, enforceable against Purchaser
    and such Subsidiary of Purchaser in accordance with its and their respective
    terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
    reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect
    relating to or affecting creditors rights generally.

    any Purchaser Documents by Purchaser and, if applicable, each of its Subsidiaries
    that will be a party thereto, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
    hereby and thereby do not and will not (a) result in a breach of any provision
    of the certificate or articles of incorporation, other organizational documents
    or by-laws of Purchaser or any of its applicable Subsidiaries, (b) constitute
    a violation of any Law or Governmental Order applicable to Purchaser or any
    of its applicable Subsidiaries, or (c) result in any breach of, or constitute
    a default (or event which with the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both,
    would become a default) under, or give to any Person any material rights of
    termination, acceleration or cancellation under, or result in the creation
    of any Lien on any of the material assets or properties of Purchaser under,
    any material note, bond, mortgage, indenture, contract, agreement, lease,
    license, Permit, franchise or other legally binding arrangement to which Purchaser

    performance of this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements or Purchaser Documents
    by Purchaser and, if applicable, by Purchaser and each of its Subsidiaries
    that is a party thereto will not, require any consent, approval, authorization,
    license, permit, order or other action by, or filing, registration or declaration
    with or notification to, any Governmental Authority.


SECTION 4.5 Brokers.
    Except for Jefferies Broadview, no broker, finder or investment banker is

    to or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements

    facilities that together will be sufficient to enable it to consummate the
    transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements or any
    other document entered into in connection herewith or therewith (including
    payment by Purchaser of the Initial Payment and the Subsequent Payments).

|(d) | Seller and Purchaser
      recognize that the Laws and public policies of the Applicable Jurisdictions

      to such Laws or policies) of any provisions of this Section shall not render
      unenforceable, or impair, the remainder of the provisions of this Section.
      Accordingly, if any provision of this Section shall be determined to be
      invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall be deemed

      to, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain as promptly as practicable

SECTION 5.8 Assignment
    of Rights.


|(a) | Nothing in this Agreement
      nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby shall be construed
      as an attempt or agreement to assign any Acquired Asset, including any Assumed
      Contract, if such assignment, without the consent of a third party, would

      Asset (Nonassignable Assets) unless and until
      such consent shall have been obtained. Seller and Purchaser will each use
      commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of the other parties
      to any such Acquired Asset or any claim, right or any benefit arising thereunder

      and its Subsidiaries and the covenants and obligations thereunder shall
      be performed by Purchaser in Sellers or its Subsidiarys name
      and all benefits and obligations existing thereunder shall be for Purchasers
      account.Seller shall take or cause to be taken at Sellers
      expense such actions in its name or otherwise as Purchaser may reasonably
      request so as to provide Purchaser with the benefits of the Nonassignable
      Assets and to effect collection of money or other consideration that becomes
      due and payable under the Nonassignable Assets, and Seller or the applicable
      Subsidiary of Seller shall promptly pay over to Purchaser all money or other
      consideration received by it in respect of all Nonassignable Assets. Except
      as provided in Section 5.14(a), as of and from the Closing Date, Seller,
      on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries, authorizes Purchaser, except to
      the extent prohibited by the terms of the Nonassignable Assets, at Sellers
      expense, to perform all the obligations and/or receive all the benefits
      of Seller or its Subsidiary under the Nonassignable Assets.

      offer of employment shall be referred to herein as a Purchaser
      Employee and shall enter into such agreements as requested
      by Purchaser, which may include customary invention assignment, confidential,
      non-solicitation and non-competition provisions.

SECTION 10.4 Termination
    of Indemnification for Breaches of Representation and Warranties. The
    obligations to indemnify and hold harmless any party pursuant to Section 10.1(a)
    or Section 10.2(a)(i) shall terminate on the date that is eighteen (18) months
    after the Closing Date; provided, however, that in the case of those representations
    and warranties that survive beyond such eighteen (18) month period (as provided
    in Section 11.1), the obligation to indemnify and hold harmless shall continue
    until the termination of such representations and warranties pursuant to Section
    11.1. Such obligations to indemnify and hold harmless shall not terminate
    with respect to any item as to which the Person to be indemnified shall have,
    before the expiration of the applicable period, previously made a claim by
    delivering a notice of such claim (stating in reasonable detail the basis
    of such claim) pursuant to Section 10.5 to the party to be providing the indemnification.


SECTION 10.5 Notification
    of Claims. All claims for indemnification under this Article X shall be
    asserted and resolved as follows:


|(a) | In the event any Person
      entitled to be indemnified pursuant to Section 10.1 or 10.2 (the Indemnified
      Party) should have a claim against any Person liable for such
      indemnification (the Indemnifying Party) under
      Section 10.1 or 10.2 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 notice of such claim to the Indemnifying Party; provided,however, that such notice shall not be effective unless it expressly
      specifies, or it is reasonably apparent from the document, that it is a
      notice for indemnification hereunder. If the Indemnifying Party does not
      notify the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) calendar days following
      its receipt of such notice that the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability
      to the Indemnified Party under Section 10.1 or 10.2, such claim specified
      by the Indemnified Party in such notice shall be conclusively deemed a liability
      of the Indemnifying Party under Section 10.1 or 10.2 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.
|--- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(b) | If such claim involves
      a claim by a third party against the Indemnified Party, and provided the
      claim by the Indemnified Party is not of a type for which the Indemnifying
      Partys liability may be limited by Section 10.3, and further provided
      that such claim solely involves monetary damages and the full amount of
      such monetary damages would be fully payable by the Indemnifying Party pursuant
      to the indemnification obligations set forth in this Agreement in the event
      such third party won such claim, the Indemnifying Party may, within ten
      days after receipt of such notice and upon notice to the Indemnified Party,
      assume, with counsel of its own choice, reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnifying
      Party, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, the settlement
      or defense thereof (in which case any Loss associated therewith shall be
      the sole responsibility of the Indemnifying Party), provided that the Indemnified
      Party may, at its sole cost and expense, participate in such

      or defense through counsel chosen by it without any right to control thereof,
      and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in
      connection therewith.
| | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(c) | For all other such
      claims that involve a claim by a third party against the Indemnified Party,
      the Indemnified Party shall have the right to conduct and control, through
      counsel of its own choosing, reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party,
      any third party legal action or other claim, but the Indemnifying Party
      may, at its election, participate in the defense thereof at its sole cost
      and expense; provided,however, that if the Indemnified
      Party shall fail to defend any such legal action or other claim, then the
      Indemnifying Party may defend, through counsel of its own choosing, such
      legal action or other claim, and so long as it gives the Indemnified Party
      at least 15 days notice of the terms of the proposed settlement thereof
      and permits the Indemnified Party to then undertake the defense thereof,
      except as set forth below, and settle such legal action or other claim and
      reduce the Indemnity Amount in the amount of such settlement or of any judgment
      and the reasonable costs and expenses of such defense.
|--- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(d) | Notwithstanding any
      of the foregoing, (i) the Indemnified Party may, at the sole cost and expense
      of the Indemnified Party, at any time prior to the Indemnifying Partys
      delivery of the notice referred to in Section 10.5(b), file any motion,
      answer or other pleadings or take any other action that the Indemnified
      Party reasonably believes to be necessary or appropriate to protect its
      interests, (ii) the Indemnified Party may take over the control of the defense
      or settlement of a third-party claim at any time, and (iii) the Indemnifying
      Party may not, without the consent of the Indemnified Party, settle or compromise
      any action or consent to the entry of any judgment, such consent not to
      be unreasonably withheld. So long as the Indemnifying Party is contesting
      any such claim in good faith, the Indemnified Party shall not pay or settle
      any such claim without the Indemnifying Partys consent, such consent
      not to be unreasonably withheld.
|--- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(e) | If the Indemnifying
      Party is not entitled to assume the defense of the claim pursuant to the
      foregoing provisions or is entitled but does not contest such claim in good
      faith (including if it does not notify the Indemnified Party of its assumption
      of the defense of such claim within the ten-day period set forth above),
      then the Indemnified Party may conduct and control, through counsel of its
      own choosing and at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the settlement
      or defense thereof, and the Indemnifying Party shall cooperate with it in
      connection therewith.
|--- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(f) | The failure of the
      Indemnified Party to participate in, conduct or control such defense shall
      not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any obligation it may have hereunder.
      Any defense costs required to be paid by the Indemnifying Party shall be
      paid as incurred, promptly against delivery of invoices therefor.

SECTION 11.4 Headings.
    The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and
    shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.


SECTION 11.5 Severability.
    If any term or other provision of this Agreement or the application of any
    such term to any Person or circumstance is held invalid, illegal or incapable
    of being enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction, all other conditions
    and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and
    effect. Upon such determination that any term or other provision or the application
    thereof is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto
    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 greatest extent possible.


SECTION 11.6 Entire
    Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Ancillary Agreements, the
    Confidentiality Agreement and all exhibits and schedules hereto and thereto,
    constitutes the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the
    subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, term sheets, letters
    of interest, correspondence (including e-mail) and undertakings, both written
    and oral, between Seller and Purchaser with respect to the subject matter
    hereof.


SECTION 11.7 Assignment.
    Neither this Agreement nor any right, interest or obligation under this Agreement
    may be assigned by any party to this Agreement by operation of Law or otherwise
    without the prior written consent of the other party to this Agreement and
    any attempt to do so will be void, except that Purchaser may, upon the prior
    written consent of Seller, (such

      not to be unreasonably withheld) assign any or all of its rights, interests
      and obligations under this Agreement (i) before or after the Closing, to
      any Affiliate and (ii) after the Closing, to any Person; provided that any
      such Affiliate or Person, as applicable, agrees in writing to be bound by
      all of the terms, conditions and provisions contained in this Agreement,
      but no such assignment shall relieve Purchaser of its obligations under
      this Agreement if such assignee does not perform such obligations. Without
      limiting the generality of the foregoing, if requested by Purchaser and
      consented to by Seller (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), Seller
      agrees to cause the Business, the Acquired Assets, the Assigned Intellectual
      Property and the Assumed Liabilities or, in each case, any portion thereof,
      at Closing to be transferred to any Affiliate as Purchaser may direct. Subject
      to the foregoing, this Agreement is binding upon, inures to the benefit
      of and is enforceable by the parties to this Agreement and their respective
      successors and assigns.
