agrees to take further action as reasonably requested by the other to carry out
the purpose of this Agreement.  The sole cost and expense of any
further action will be borne by the requesting party.
  5.2  Consents.  Seller
will use commercially reasonable efforts from and after the Closing Date to
obtain all agreed upon third-party consents that have not been obtained by
Seller prior to the Closing Date.  Nothing in this Agreement shall be
construed as an attempt to assign any Contract or License that is by its terms
or law nonassignable without the consent of the other party or parties thereto,
unless such consent shall have been given or as to which all the remedies for
the enforcement thereof enjoyed by Seller would, as a matter of law, pass to
Buyer as an incident of the assignments provided for by this
Agreement.  In the event (a) a Contract or License either does not
permit or expressly prohibits the assignment by Seller of its rights and
obligations thereunder, or (b) Seller has not obtained the necessary consents to
assignment from all parties to any Contract or License prior to the Closing
Date, or (c) direct assumption of any Contract or License is not practical,

payment.  In the event that on or after the Closing Date Seller
receives any Accounts Receivable payments belonging to Buyer, Seller shall remit
such payments to Buyer in the form received within five (5) business days of
Seller’s receipt of such payments.  Seller shall, if applicable,
provide Buyer with a regular accounting of all Accounts Receivable payments
received by Seller, but belonging to Buyer, and shall provide Buyer with access
to such books, records and other information as may be reasonably necessary for
Buyer to verify such accounting.  Shareholder shall be jointly and
severally liable with Seller for any payments required under this Section
5.4.

after the Closing Date.

as of the Closing Date, Company Employees shall cease participation in all
employee benefit plans, programs, policies and arrangements maintained or

Plans”) except to the extent such Seller Plans provide for continued
participation by former employees or Seller otherwise retains liability with
respect to such Seller Plans under this Agreement.
  (b)  Buyer
shall use reasonable efforts to cause each Company Employee to be given credit
for purposes of vesting and eligibility for participation for all service prior
to the Closing Date with Seller and its affiliates (to the extent taken into
account under similar employee benefit plans, programs, policies and
arrangements of Seller in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date) under
each employee benefit plan, program and arrangement intended to meet the
requirements of Code section 401(a) and for all purposes, including benefit
payment levels under any severance or vacation arrangement and any other welfare
benefit arrangement (in each case, to the extent taken into account under
similar employee benefit plans, programs, policies and arrangements of Seller in
effect immediately prior to the Closing Date) maintained for his or her benefit
by Buyer on the Closing Date.
  (c)  Seller
shall retain responsibility for and continue to pay, to the extent covered by
Seller Plans, all medical, life insurance, disability and other welfare and
government-mandated plan expenses and benefits for each Company Employee with
respect to claims incurred by such employees or their covered dependents on or
prior to the Closing Date.  Expenses and benefits with respect to
claims incurred by Company Employees or their covered dependents after the
Closing Date shall be the responsibility of Buyer under, and to the extent
covered by, Buyer’s employee benefit plans, programs, policies and arrangements,
and government-mandated plans.  For purposes of this paragraph, a
medical claim shall be deemed to be incurred as of the date of the occurrence or
event giving rise to the benefit to which the claim relates.
  (d)  With
respect to the welfare benefit plans initially implemented for the benefit of
Company Employees immediately after the Closing Date, Buyer shall use reasonable
efforts to (i) cause to be waived any requirement to provide evidence of
insurability and any pre-existing condition limitations, (ii) give effect, in
determining any deductible and maximum out-of-pocket limitations for the year in
which the Closing Date occurs, to claims incurred and amounts paid with respect
to such employees with respect to similar plans maintained by Seller (or any
affiliate thereof) for their benefit during the portion of the year that occurs
prior to the date employment commences (provided Seller provides such
information to Buyer as of the Closing Date).
  (e)  Seller
shall furnish Buyer with any information that Buyer may require to provide
benefits to Company Employees as of the Closing Date in accordance with this
Section 5.9.

Claims.  Promptly after receipt by a Seller Indemnified Party
or a Buyer Indemnified Party (“Indemnified Party”) of notice of any matter or
the commencement of any Action by a third party in respect of which the
Indemnified Party will seek indemnification hereunder (“Third-Party Claim”), the
Indemnified Party shall notify each Person that is obligated to provide such
indemnification (“Indemnifying Party”) thereof in writing but any failure to so
notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve it from any liability that it
may have to the Indemnified Party other than to the extent the Indemnifying
Party is actually prejudiced by such failure. The Indemnifying Party shall be
entitled to participate in the defense of such Third-Party Claim and, provided
that within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such written notice the
Indemnifying Party confirms in writing its responsibility therefor and
demonstrates to the reasonable satisfaction of the Indemnified Party its
financial capability to undertake the defense and provide indemnification with
respect to such Third-Party Claim, to assume control of such defense with
counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party; provided, however,
that:
  (a)  the
Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such
Third-Party Claim and to employ counsel at its own expense to assist in the
handling of such matter or claim;
  (b)  the
Indemnifying Party shall obtain the prior written approval of the Indemnified
Party before entering into any settlement of such Third-Party Claim or ceasing
to defend against such matter or claim (with such approval not to be
unreasonably withheld);

Indemnifying Party shall consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any
settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by
each claimant or plaintiff to each Indemnified Party of a full and complete
release from all liability in respect of such Third-Party Claim;
and

Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to control (but shall be entitled to
participate at its own expense in the defense of), and the Indemnified Party
shall be entitled to have sole control over, the defense or settlement of any
Third-Party Claim to the extent the matter or claim seeks an order, injunction,
non-monetary or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party that, if
successful, could materially interfere with the business, operations, assets,
condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Indemnified
Party.
  After
written notice by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of its
election to assume control of the defense of any such Third-Party Claim and
proof of its financial responsibility as provided in this Section 6.4, the
Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such Indemnified Party hereunder for
any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection
with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation and of
liaison counsel for the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that the
Indemnifying Party shall be liable for such legal expenses if the Indemnified
Party determines in good faith that the incurrence of the same is appropriate in
light of defenses not available to the Indemnifying Party, conflicts of interest
or other similar circumstances. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume
control of the defense of such Third-Party Claim as provided in this Section
6.4, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to defend such Third-Party Claim
in such manner as it may deem appropriate at the cost and expense of the
Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnifying Party will promptly reimburse the
Indemnified Party therefor in accordance with this Article VI. The reimbursement
of fees, costs and expenses required by this Article VI shall be made by

  7.3  Non-Solicitation.In
consideration for the Purchase Price, each of Seller and Shareholder agrees that
for a period of three (3) years following the Closing Date, neither Seller nor
Shareholder shall, either directly or indirectly: (a) divert or attempt to
divert from Buyer or any affiliate of Buyer any work within the definition of
the Restricted Business; (b) solicit, contact, call upon or attempt to solicit,
or provide services to, any of Buyer’s or its affiliates’ customers, suppliers
or actively sought potential customers or suppliers for the purpose of doing
anything within the definition of the Restricted Business; or (c) induce or
attempt to induce any person who is an employee or consultant of Buyer or any
affiliate of Buyer to leave the employ of Buyer or such affiliate or hire any
person who is, or within twelve (12) months prior to the date of such hiring
was, an employee or consultant of Buyer or any affiliate of Buyer.
  7.4  Reasonable
Restrictions.Each of Seller and Shareholder acknowledges and
agrees that the covenants set forth in this Article VII are necessary to protect
the goodwill value and other legitimate business interests of Buyer relating to
the Business and are reasonable and valid in geographical and temporal scope and
in all other respects.  If, at the time of enforcement of any of the
provisions of this Article VII, a court holds that the restrictions stated
therein are unreasonable under the circumstances then existing, each of Seller
and Shareholder agree that the maximum period, scope or geographical area
reasonable under such circumstances shall be substituted for the stated period,
scope or area.
  7.5  Remedies.Each of
Seller and Shareholder acknowledges that the remedy at law of Buyer for breach
of the covenants in this Article VII will be inadequate and that, in addition to
any other remedy Buyer may have, including the right to recover damages, Buyer
will be entitled to an injunction restraining any breach or threatened breach,
without proof of actual damages and without bond or other security being
required.  Each of Seller and Shareholder further agrees not to assert
as a defense in any proceeding in which Buyer is seeking enforcement of any of
the covenants in this Article VII any claim that Seller or Shareholder may have
against Buyer or any other person arising under this Agreement or
otherwise.  Seller or Shareholder, as applicable, shall be permitted
to assert any such claim in a separate proceeding initiated by Seller or
Shareholder but the pendency of any such proceeding shall not affect Buyer’s
right to the strict enforcement of the covenants set forth in this Article
VII.

  8.7  Construction.  Captions,
titles and headings to articles, sections or paragraphs of this Agreement are
inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the construction
or interpretation of this Agreement.  All references in this Agreement
to “Article”, or “Section” refer to the corresponding articles or sections of
this Agreement unless otherwise stated and, unless the context otherwise
specifically requires, refer to all subsections or subparagraphs
thereof.  All references in this Agreement to “Schedule” or “Exhibit”

singular and plural forms of such terms.  Nouns and pronouns will be
deemed to refer to the masculine, feminine or neuter, singular and plural, as
the identity of the Person or Persons may in the context require.
  8.8  Cumulative
Remedies.  Except as otherwise expressly provided in this

subsequently exist at law or in equity, by statute or otherwise.
  8.9  Waiver.  Neither any
failure nor any delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege
under this Agreement will operate as a waiver of such right, power or privilege,
and no single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege will

exercise of any other right, power or privilege. To the maximum extent permitted
by applicable law, (a) no claim or right arising out of this Agreement can be
discharged by one party, in whole or in part, by a waiver or renunciation of the
claim or right unless in writing signed by each party; (b) no waiver that may be
given by a party will be applicable except in the specific instance for which it
is given; and (c) no notice to or demand on one party will be deemed to be a
waiver of any obligation of that party or of the right of the party giving such
notice or demand to take further action without notice or demand as provided in
this Agreement.
  8.10  Severability.  In
the event that a court or arbitral body of competent jurisdiction holds any
provision of this Agreement invalid, illegal or unenforceable, such decision
shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any of the other provisions
of this Agreement, which other provisions shall remain in full force and effect,
and the application of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision to
Persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid,
illegal or unenforceable shall be valid and be enforced to the fullest extent
permitted by law.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, each
party waives any provision of law that renders any provision of this Agreement
invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect.
  8.11  Representation of
Parties.  The parties acknowledge that they have been
represented by competent counsel of their own choice and that this Agreement has
been the product of negotiation between them.  Accordingly, the
parties agree that in the event of any ambiguity in any provision of this
Agreement, this Agreement shall not be construed against a party regardless of
which party was responsible for the drafting thereof.

Essence.  With regard to all dates and time periods set forth
or referred to in this Agreement, time is of the essence.
