         All  notices,  requests,  demands,  claims,  and  other  communications
hereunder  shall be in writing.  Any notice,  request,  demand,  claim, or other

shall be valid  unless  the same  shall be in  writing  and signed by all of the
Parties. No waiver by any Party of any default,  misrepresentation  or breach of
warranty or covenant  hereunder,  whether intentional or not, shall be deemed to
extend  to any  prior or  subsequent  default,  misrepresentation  or  breach of

         Section 7.10.  Severability.
         ---------------------------

         Any  term  or   provision  of  this   Agreement   that  is  invalid  or
unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity
or  enforceability  of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity
or  enforceability  of the offending term or provision in any other situation or
in any  other  jurisdiction.  If the  final  judgment  of a court  of  competent
jurisdiction   declares  that  any  term  or  provision  hereof  is  invalid  or
unenforceable,  the Parties  agree that the court  making the  determination  of
invalidity  or  unenforceability  shall  have the  power to  reduce  the  scope,
duration, or area of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases,
or to replace  any invalid or  unenforceable  term or  provision  with a term or
provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the
intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision,  and this Agreement
shall be  enforceable  as so modified  after the  expiration  of the time within

substantially deprive either Party of the bargained-for performance of the other
Party.

whether or not the transaction is consummated. All transaction costs incurred by
the Company in connection with this Agreement and the transactions  contemplated
hereby  shall  be  paid  by the  Company  whether  or  not  the  transaction  is
consummated.

         Section 7.12.  Other Remedies.
         -----------------------------

         Except  as  otherwise  provided  herein,  any and all  remedies  herein
expressly  conferred  upon a  Party  will be  deemed  cumulative  with,  and not
exclusive  of, any other remedy  conferred  hereby or by law or equity upon such
Party,  and the  exercise  by a Party of any one remedy  will not  preclude  the
exercise of any other remedy.

         Section 7.13.  Construction.
         ---------------------------

         The Parties agree that they have been represented by counsel during the
negotiation,  preparation and execution of this Agreement and, therefore,  waive
the  application  of any  law,  regulation,  holding  or  rule  of  construction
providing  that  ambiguities in an agreement or other document will be construed
against the Party  drafting  such  agreement or document.  Any  reference to any
federal,  state,  local, or foreign statute or law shall be deemed also to refer
to all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires
otherwise.

to which Seller is a party exclusively relating to Seller's internal governance,
including,  without  limitation,  the  Seller's  Certificate  of  Incorporation,
Bylaws,  in each case as amended  and/or  restated,  or any other Contract among
Seller and its stockholders relating to Seller's internal governance.

                  Section 2.3 Assumed Liabilities. Upon the terms and subject to
the conditions of this  Agreement,  at the Closing,  Purchaser  shall assume and
thereafter pay,  perform and discharge only the following  Liabilities of Seller

                  Section 2.6 Consideration.

                                      -13-

         (a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the
aggregate  purchase price (the "Purchase  Price") payable by Purchaser to Seller
in full and complete payment for the sale, conveyance,  assignment, transfer and
delivery of the Acquired Assets by Seller shall consist of (i) the assumption of
the  Assumed  Liabilities  by  Purchaser  at  the  Closing;   (ii)  Two  Million
(2,000,000) shares of Common Stock (the "Shares"); and (iii) the Earnout Amount,
if any. The Shares,  and the shares comprising the Earnout Amount, if any, shall
constitute "restricted  securities" as that term is defined in Section 144(a)(3)
of the Securities Act and shall be restricted as to their resale,  as more fully
described below.

         (b) Seller hereby  agrees that it shall not,  without the prior written
consent of  Purchaser,  sell,  contract to sell,  sell any option or contract to
purchase,  purchase any option or contract to sell,  grant any option,  right or
warrant to  purchase,  pledge,  lend or  otherwise  transfer  or dispose of, any
Shares, shares comprising the Earnout Amount or any securities  convertible into
or exercisable or exchangeable  for the Shares or shares  comprising the Earnout
Amount  held by  Seller,  or  enter  into any  swap or  other  arrangement  that
transfers to another,  in whole or in part, any of the economic  consequences of
ownership of such securities, for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days from
the Closing  Date with  respect to the Shares and one hundred  eighty (180) days
from the Earnout Payment Date with respect to the shares  comprising the Earnout
Amount; provided,  however, that if Purchaser exercises the option granted to it
by Seller pursuant to that certain Asset Purchase Option Agreement,  dated as of
November [_], 2005 by and between PPT and Seller (the "Option Agreement"),  more
than one hundred  eighty (180) days prior to July 30, 2007,  the  aforementioned
restrictions  shall  apply  for a period of  thirty  (30) days from the  Earnout
Payment Date with respect to the shares  comprising the Earnout Amount. In order
to  enforce  the  foregoing   covenant,   Purchaser  may  impose  stop  transfer
instructions with respect to the Shares and shares comprising the Earnout Amount
held by Seller until the end of such period(s).

         (c) The Purchase Price shall be allocated among the Acquired Assets and
the covenants  contained in Section 5.6 of this Agreement as of the Closing Date
in  accordance  with  Exhibit  F  (the  "Allocation  Method").   Any  subsequent
adjustments  to the sum of the  Purchase  Price shall be  allocated  in a manner
consistent  with the  Allocation  Method  and  Section  1060 of the Code and the
Treasury  Regulation  issued  thereunder.  For all Tax  purposes,  Purchaser and
Seller  agree that the  transactions  contemplated  in this  Agreement  shall be
reported  in a manner  consistent  with the  terms  of this  Agreement  and that
neither  Seller nor Purchaser will take any position  inconsistent  therewith in
any Tax Return, in any refund claim, in any litigation or otherwise.  Seller and
Purchaser  agree to  cooperate  in good faith with each other in filing IRS Form
8594 in the form prepared by Purchaser.

                  Section  2.7  Earnout.  As  additional  consideration  for the
transactions set forth herein:

         (a) If,  on the  later of (i)  July 30,  2007 or (ii) the date on which
Purchaser  exercises the option  granted to it by Seller  pursuant to the Option
Agreement, the Minimum Revenue Trigger has been achieved,  Purchaser shall issue
shares of Common  Stock to Seller no later  than ten (10)  Business  Days  after
Purchaser's  receipt of  confirmation  that Seller  accepts the Revenue  Trigger
Report, subject to the resolution of any dispute pursuant to Section 2.7(c) (the
"Earnout Payment Date"), the Earnout Amount.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,  no
fractional  shares of

                                      -14-

Common  Stock shall be issued in  conjunction  with any payment by  Purchaser to
Seller of the Earnout  Amount.  In lieu of any fractional  share to which Seller
would  otherwise be entitled,  Purchaser  shall pay cash equal to the product of
such  fraction  multiplied  by the price per share of Common  Stock based on the
ninety- (90) day prior average price of the Common Stock as of April 1, 2007.

         (b) Whether  the Minimum  Revenue  Trigger has been  achieved,  and the
Annualized  First Quarter  Revenue,  shall be determined by Purchaser within (i)
thirty (30) days after the close of the second  quarter of 2007 or (ii) the date
on which Purchaser  exercises the option granted to it by Seller pursuant to the
Option Agreement, whichever is later. Copies of Purchaser's report (the "Revenue
Trigger Report") setting forth Purchaser's  determination of whether the Minimum
Revenue  Trigger has been achieved,  and the Annualized  First Quarter  Revenue,
shall be submitted by Purchaser in writing to Seller and, unless Seller notifies
Purchaser within thirty (30) Business Days after receipt of such Revenue Trigger
Report  that it objects to the  computations  set forth  therein,  such  Revenue
Trigger  Report  shall  be  binding  and  conclusive  for the  purposes  of this
Agreement. Following delivery to Seller of the Revenue Trigger Report, Purchaser
shall give Seller and its accountants reasonable access to Purchaser's personnel
as well as any books, records,  work-papers,  documents,  and reports created or
prepared  by  Purchaser  in  connection  with the  determination  of the Minimum
Revenue Trigger and the Annualized  First Quarter Revenue and the preparation of
the  corresponding  Revenue  Trigger  Report on  reasonable  prior notice during
regular business hours in order to verify the computations set forth therein.

         (c) If Seller  disagrees with the computations set forth in the Revenue
Trigger  Report,  Seller  may,  within  thirty  (30) days after  delivery of the
Revenue  Trigger  Report,  deliver a notice to Purchaser  disagreeing  with such
computation and the basis for its disagreement, and thereafter the parties shall
in good faith attempt to resolve any dispute, in which event the Revenue Trigger
Report  and the  computations  set  forth  therein,  as  amended  to the  extent
necessary to reflect the  resolution  of the dispute,  shall be  conclusive  and
binding on the  parties.  If the parties do not reach  agreement  resolving  the
dispute within ten (10) days after notice is given by Seller,  the parties shall
submit the dispute to the  Accountant to review this  Agreement and the disputed
items or amounts  for the  purpose of making the  appropriate  calculations  (it
being  understood that the Accountant  shall be functioning as an expert and not
as an arbitrator).  Promptly, but no later than thirty (30) days, the Accountant
shall  determine,  based solely on written  submissions by Purchaser and Seller,
and not by independent  review,  only those issues in dispute and shall render a
written   report  as  to  the  resolution  of  the  dispute  and  the  resulting
computations  which  shall  be  conclusive  and  binding  on  the  parties.  The
Accountant shall have access to such books,  records,  work-papers and personnel
as it shall request.  In resolving any disputed  item,  the Accountant  shall be
bound by the provisions of this Section 2.7(c).  The fees, costs and expenses of
the Accountant (i) shall be borne by Purchaser if the Accountant determines that
the Revenue  Trigger has been  understated by ten percent (10%) percent or more,
but only if the Minimum  Revenue Trigger has been met or exceeded and (ii) shall
be borne by Seller if the Accountant determines that the Revenue Trigger has not
been  understated  or has  been  understated  by less  than ten  percent  (10 %)
percent,  regardless of whether or not the Minimum  Revenue Trigger has been met
or exceeded.

                                      -15-

         (d) Any  issuance  pursuant to Section  2.7(c) shall be made within ten
(10) Business Days after the determination thereof to the applicable party.

                  Section 2.8 Closing.  Subject to the terms and  conditions  of
this Agreement,  the closing of the transactions  contemplated by this Agreement
(the "Closing")  shall take place at the offices of Paul,  Hastings,  Janofsky &
Walker LLP, 515 South Flower Street, Los Angeles, California 90071 at 10:00 a.m.
California  time, on the date that is no later than the third (3rd) Business Day
following  satisfaction  or waiver of all of the conditions to Closing set forth
in Article VI hereof,  or at such other  time,  place or date as  Purchaser  and
Seller mutually agree upon in writing.  The date upon which the Closing actually
occurs is referred to herein as the "Closing Date".

                  Section 2.9 Deliveries by Seller. At the Closing, Seller shall
deliver,  or cause to be delivered,  to Purchaser  each of the  following,  duly
executed,  to the extent  execution by Seller is  necessary,  by or on behalf of

         (b) the Patent Assignment;

         (c) the Copyright Assignment;

         (h) a certificate  of the Secretary of Seller dated the Closing Date in

         (j) the  Other  Instruments,  in form  and  substance  satisfactory  to
Purchaser, as may be requested by Purchaser, if any;

         (k) copies of all Consents of  Governmental  Bodies (if  applicable) to
the transfer or assignment of the Material Permits;

         (l)  copies  of all  Consents  from  third  parties  necessary  for the
transfer or assignment of any Acquired Asset; and

                                      -16-

         (m) a  recent  certificate  of  good  standing  for  Seller  (or  other
equivalent  certificate)  from the appropriate  Governmental Body dated within a
reasonable time period before the Closing.

                  Section  2.10   Deliveries  by  Purchaser.   At  the  Closing,
Purchaser  shall  deliver  or  cause  to be  delivered  to  Seller,  each of the
following,  duly executed, to the extent execution by Purchaser is necessary, by
or on behalf of Purchaser:

         (a) the Purchase Price;

         (b) counterparts of the Instruments of Assignment;

         (c) the  officer's  certificate  of  Purchaser  referred  to in Section
6.1(c);

         (d) a certificate  of good standing (or other  equivalent  certificate)
for Purchaser  from the  appropriate  Government  Body dated within a reasonable
time before the Closing; and

         (e) copies of all Consents of  Governmental  Bodies (if  applicable) to
the transfer or assignment of the Material Permits.

                  Section 2.11 Non-Assignable Acquired Assets.

         (a) To the extent that any of the Acquired Assets  (including,  without
limitation,  any  Assigned  Agreements  or  Permits)  are not  capable  of being
assigned to Purchaser (or its  designees) at the Closing  without the Consent of
the issuer  thereof or any other party thereto or any other  Person,  or if such
assignment  or attempted  assignment  would  constitute a breach  thereof,  or a
violation  of  any  applicable  United  States  or  non-United  States  federal,
national,  supranational,  state,  provincial,  local or similar  statute,  law,
ordinance, regulation, rule, code, order, judgment or decree, injunction, award,
administrative  order or decree,  administrative or judicial  decision,  and any
other  executive  or  legislative  proclamation,  requirement  or  rule  of  law
(including  common  law)  (collectively,   "Laws"),  this  Agreement  shall  not
constitute  an  assignment  thereof,  or an  attempted  assignment,  unless such
Consent has been obtained.

         (b) In the event that any Consent  referred  to in Section  2.11(a) has
not been obtained prior to the Closing,  Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate to
obtain  each and every such  Consent  and to  resolve  the  impracticalities  of
assignment referred to in Section 2.11(a) after the Closing.

         (c) To the extent any Consents  referred to in Section 2.11(a) have not
been  obtained by Seller prior to the  Closing,  until the  impracticalities  of
assignment  referred to in this Section 2.11 are resolved,  Seller shall use its
reasonable  efforts  to (i)  provide  Purchaser,  to  the  extent  permitted  by
applicable  Law,  the  benefits of any  Acquired  Assets  referred to in Section
2.11(a),  (ii)  cooperate in any reasonable  and lawful  arrangement  (including
subleasing or subcontracting, or performance thereunder by Seller as Purchaser's
agent) designed to provide such benefits to Purchaser, and (iii) enforce for the
account and benefit of Purchaser  any and all rights of Seller  arising from the
Acquired  Assets  referred to in Section 2.11(a) against such issuer thereof and
all  other  parties  thereto  and/or  any  other  Person   (including,   without
limitation, the right to elect to terminate in accordance with the terms thereof
upon the sole determination of Purchaser).

                                      -17-

         (d) At such time and on each  occasion  after the  Closing  Date as all
Consents referred to in this Section 2.11 with respect to an Acquired Asset have
been  obtained,  such Acquired  Asset shall  automatically  be  transferred  and
assigned by Seller to Purchaser for no additional consideration.

                                  Article III

                    REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SELLER

         As an  inducement  to  Purchaser to enter into this  Agreement,  Seller
represents  and  warrants  to  Purchaser  for its  benefit  that the  statements
contained in this Article III are true and correct as of the date hereof and the
Closing  Date (or in the case of  representations  and  warranties  made as of a
specific date, as of such date),  subject to such exceptions as are specifically
disclosed in writing in the Disclosure  Schedule provided by Seller to Purchaser
(the "Disclosure Schedule").

                  Section 3.1 Organization and  Qualification of Seller.  Seller
is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in corporate good standing
under the laws of the State of Delaware and has all  requisite  corporate  power
and authority to own,  lease and operate the Acquired  Assets and to conduct the
Operations.  Except as set forth on  Schedule  3.1,  Seller is duly  licensed or
qualified to do business and is in good standing in each  jurisdiction  in which
the properties  owned or leased by it or the conduct of the Operations  requires
such  qualification,  except to the extent that the failure to be so licensed or
qualified  and in good standing  would not (a)  adversely  affect the ability of
Seller to carry out its obligations  under,  and to consummate the  transactions
contemplated by, this Agreement and the Transaction Documents to which Seller is
a party or (b)  otherwise  have a  Material  Adverse  Effect.  The copies of the
Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws previously delivered to Purchaser or its
counsel,  in each  case as  amended  and/or  restated,  are true,  complete  and
correct.

                  Section  3.2  Authority  of  Seller  to  Execute  and  Perform
Agreement. Seller has full right and all necessary corporate power and authority
required  to enter  into,  execute  and  deliver  this  Agreement  and the other
Transaction Documents to which it is or will be a party and to perform fully its
obligations   hereunder  and  thereunder  and  to  consummate  the  transactions
contemplated  hereby and thereby.  The  execution and delivery by Seller of this
Agreement  and the  Transaction  Documents  to  which  Seller  is a  party,  the
performance  by Seller  of its  obligations  hereunder  and  thereunder  and the
consummation by Seller of the transactions  contemplated hereby and thereby have
been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action on the part of Seller and
its stockholders.  This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Seller
and, on the Closing Date, the other  Transaction  Documents to which Seller is a
party will be duly executed and delivered by Seller. Assuming due authorization,
execution and delivery  hereof and thereof by Purchaser,  this Agreement is, and
upon their execution the other Transaction  Documents will be, legal,  valid and
binding  obligations of Seller,  enforceable  against Seller in accordance  with
their respective terms,  except that such  enforceability  may be subject to (i)
bankruptcy,  insolvency,  reorganization  or other  similar  laws  affecting  or
relating  to  enforcement  of  creditors'  rights  generally,  and (ii)  general
equitable principles.

                                      -18-

                  Section 3.3 Subsidiaries. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.3,
There are no corporations,  partnerships,  joint ventures, associations or other
entities that own, hold, or lease any of the Acquired  Assets or that are in any
respect  involved in the  Operations in which Seller or its  Affiliates  own, of
record or beneficially, any direct or indirect equity, debt or other interest or
any right (contingent or otherwise) to acquire the same.

                  Section 3.4  Financial  Statements.  [TO BE UPDATED BASED UPON
DATE OF OPTION EXERCISE]

         (a) Seller has delivered to Purchaser  (i) the financial  statements of
Seller (balance sheet and statements of operations and cash flow,  together with
the notes  thereto) for the fiscal years ended  December 31, 2002,  December 31,
2003 and December 31, 2004 and (ii) the  unaudited  balance sheet of Seller (the
"Balance  Sheet") as of [June 30,  2005] (the  "Balance  Sheet  Date"),  and the
related consolidated  statements of operations and cash flows for the [six- (6)]
month period  ended [June 30,  2005]  (together  with the  financial  statements
referred to in clause (i) above,  the "Financial  Statements"),  copies of which
are set forth in  Schedule  3.4.  The  Financial  Statements  were  prepared  in
accordance with the books of account and other  financial  records of the Seller
and are complete and correct in all material  respects and have been prepared in
accordance with U.S. GAAP applied  consistent with past practice.  The Financial
Statements are true and correct, include all adjustments that are necessary, and
fairly  present in all material  respects  the  financial  condition,  operating
results  and cash flows of Seller as of the dates  thereof  and for the  periods
indicated in accordance  with U.S.  GAAP,  except that the Financial  Statements
referred to in clause (ii) above do not contain the  information and disclosures
to be found in notes to financial  statements  prepared in accordance  with U.S.
GAAP and are subject to normal year-end adjustments, which will not be material.

         (b) The books of account and other financial records of the Seller: (i)
reflect all items of income and expense and all assets and Liabilities  required
to be reflected  therein in  accordance  with past  practice  and, to the extent
applicable,  on an income Tax basis,  (ii) are in all material respects complete
and  correct,  and do not  contain  or  reflect  any  material  inaccuracies  or
discrepancies  and (iii) have been  maintained in accordance  with good business
and accounting practices.

         (c) All  accounts  receivable  of the Seller  reflected  in the Balance
Sheet and all accounts  receivable  of Seller that have arisen since the Balance
Sheet Date (except such accounts  receivable as have been  collected  since such
dates) are valid and  enforceable  claims against the account  debtors,  and the
goods and services sold and delivered  that gave rise to such accounts were sold
and delivered in conformity with all applicable express and implied  warranties,
purchase  orders,  agreements and  specifications.  Such accounts  receivable of
Seller  are  subject to no valid  defense,  offset or  counterclaim,  other than
normal cash discounts accrued in the Ordinary Course of Business,  and are fully
collectible,  without resort to litigation or extraordinary collection activity,
within  ninety  (90) days after the  Closing  Date,  except to the extent of the
allowance for doubtful  accounts  reflected on the Balance Sheet.  Except as set
forth in Schedule  3.4(c),  as of the  Closing  Date,  all of Seller's  accounts
receivable  and payable  will have arisen from the sale or purchase of inventory
or services to Persons not affiliated  with Seller and in the Ordinary Course of
Business.

                                      -19-

         (d) All  inventories  of raw  materials,  work-in-process  and finished
goods set forth or reflected in the Balance  Sheet,  or acquired by Seller since
the Balance Sheet Date,  consists of a quality and quantity  usable and saleable
by Seller in the Ordinary Course of Business. The value at which inventories are
carried on the Balance Sheet reflects the normal  inventory  valuation policy of
Seller,  on a basis  consistent  with that of the preceding  period,  of stating
inventory at its lower of cost or market value, and, consistent  therewith,  all
non-current  or obsolete  inventory held by Seller on the Balance Sheet Date has
been valued at its current market value on the Balance Sheet. There is no reason
to believe that Seller will experience in the foreseeable  future any difficulty
in obtaining,  in the desired quantity and quality, the raw materials,  supplies
or component products required for the manufacture, assembly, production or sale
of its products including, without limitation,  inventory which historically has
been imported.

                  Section  3.5 Absence of Certain  Changes or Events.  Except as
set forth on Schedule  3.5,  since [June 30,  2005],  Seller has  conducted  the
Operations only in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice
(the "Ordinary Course of Business").  As amplification and not limitation of the
foregoing, since such date, Seller has not:

         (a)  suffered  a  Material  Adverse  Effect  or  an  event  that  could
reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect;

         (b)  made any  capital  expenditures  or  similar  commitments  for any
capital expenditures.

         (c)  issued  any  purchase  orders  or  otherwise  agreed  to make  any
purchases  involving  exchanges in value in excess of Two Thousand  Five Hundred
Dollars and Zero Cents  ($2,500.00)  individually  or Five Thousand  Dollars and
Zero  Cents  ($5,000.00)  in the  aggregate,  except in the  Ordinary  Course of
Business;

interfere  with the  operations of the party  providing such access and provided
further  that the party  requesting  access  to such  books,  records,  files or
documents  will bear any  costs,  other  than wages and  salaries  and  employee
benefits of relevant personnel, of obtaining such access

                  Section 5.6 Non-Competition and  Non-Solicitation  Covenant of
Seller.

         (a) For a period of five (5) years after the Closing  (the  "Restricted
Period"),  Seller  shall  not and shall  cause  Louis R.  Matson to not  engage,
directly or indirectly,  in any business anywhere in the world, including the 58
counties  in the State of  California  that  produces  or  supplies  products or
services of the kind  produced or supplied by the  Operations as of the Closing.
In addition,  Seller  shall not and shall cause Louis R. Matson to not,  without
the prior

                                      -36-

written  consent of  Purchaser,  directly or  indirectly,  own an  interest  in,
manage,  operate,  join,  control,  lend  money  or  render  financial  or other
assistance to or participate in or be connected  with, as an officer,  employee,
partner,  stockholder,  consultant or  otherwise,  any Person that competes with
Purchaser or the Operations in manufacturing, producing or supplying products or
services of the kind manufactured,  produced or supplied by the Operations as of
the Closing.

         (b)  As  a  separate  and  independent  covenant,  Seller  agrees  with
Purchaser  that,  for a period of five (5) years  following the Closing,  Seller
will not and  shall  cause  Louis R.  Matson  to not,  in any way,  directly  or
indirectly,  call  upon,  solicit,  advise or  otherwise  do, or  attempt to do,

business  or  patronage  of the  Operations  or  interfere  with or  attempt  to
interfere  with  any  officers,  employees,  representatives  or  agents  of the
Operations  or induce or  attempt  to induce  any of them to leave the employ of
Purchaser  or  violate  the  terms  of  their   contracts,   or  any  employment
arrangements, with Purchaser.

         (c) The Restricted Period shall be extended by the length of any period
during which Seller or Louis R. Matson is in breach of the terms of this Section
5.6. Seller acknowledges that the covenants set forth in this Section 5.6 are an
essential element of this Agreement and that, but for the agreement of Seller to
comply  with  these  covenants,  Purchaser  would  not have  entered  into  this
Agreement.  Seller  acknowledges  that  (i)  this  Section  5.6  constitutes  an
independent covenant that shall not be affected by performance or nonperformance
of any other provision of this Agreement by Purchaser, and (ii) a portion of the
Purchase Price shall be consideration  allocable to such  independent  covenant.
Seller  acknowledges  that they have  independently  consulted  with counsel and

agreement,  effective immediately after the Closing, between Seller and Louis R.
Matson,  dated as of [_____ __,] 2005,  the form of which is attached as Exhibit

responsible  for any  Liability  arising  under the WARN Act and  other  similar
statutes or regulations of any  jurisdiction  with respect to any termination by
Seller of employment of any employee of Seller,  including,  any  termination of
employment  that occurs in connection  with the  transactions  described in this
Agreement,  on or prior to the Closing Date, and Seller shall be responsible for
the  issuance of any notices  required by the WARN Act with  respect to any such
termination.

                  Section 5.8 Satisfaction of Conditions Precedent.  The parties
hereto will use reasonable efforts to satisfy (or cause to be satisfied) all the

not the Closing shall have occurred; provided, however, that all

(collectively, "Transfer Taxes") shall be borne equally by Purchaser and Seller.

resale exemption certificates and other similar documentation. The party that is
required  by  applicable  Law to make the  filings,  reports,  or returns and to
handle any audits or controversies with respect to any applicable Transfer Taxes
shall do so,  and the other  party  shall  cooperate  with  respect  thereto  as
necessary.

                  Section  5.10 Bulk Sales  Compliance.  Each of  Purchaser  and
Seller shall waive  compliance  with the provisions of the  applicable  statutes
relating to bulk transfers or bulk sales.

                  Section  5.11  Public  Announcements.  Neither  Purchaser  nor
Seller shall issue any report,  statement or press release or otherwise make any
public  statement  with  respect  to this  Agreement  or the  other  Transaction
Documents  and the  transactions  contemplated  hereby and  thereby  without the
written  consent of the other  party (not to be  unreasonably  withheld)  hereto
prior to taking  any such  action,  except as may be  required  by Law or may be
necessary  in  order to  comply  with  disclosure  requirements  imposed  by any
Governmental  Bodies,  in which case such party  nevertheless  shall  advise the
other party and discuss the contents of the  disclosure  before issuing any such
report, statement or press release.

                  Section 5.12 Use of Name and Logo.  Seller  acknowledges  that
from and after the Closing,  the name "Surgica  Corporation," and all similar or
related names, marks and logos shall be owned by Purchaser,  that neither Seller

related names, marks and logos. Within three (3) Business Days after the Closing
Date,  Seller shall amend its  organizational  documents  and make any necessary
filings with the Delaware  Secretary of State (and within  Thirty (30)  Business
Days after the Closing Date,  Seller shall make all  necessary  filings with all
other relevant  Governmental  Bodies) to change any corporate name from any name
incorporating "Surgica Corporation" or any confusingly similar designations to a
name that does not incorporate "Surgica  Corporation" or any confusingly similar
designation.

                  Section  5.13  Excluded  Liabilities.  Seller  shall  pay  and
discharge the Excluded Liabilities as and when the same become due and payable.

                  Section 5.14 Competing Offers;  Merger or Liquidation.  Seller
agrees  that  between  the date of this  Agreement  and the  earlier  of (a) the
Closing and (b) the termination of this Agreement, neither Seller nor any of its
Affiliates,  officers,  directors,  representatives  or agents will, without the
prior written consent of Purchaser, (i) solicit, initiate,  consider,  encourage
or accept any other  proposals or  submissions of bids or offers from any Person
(A) relating to any acquisition or purchase of all or any portion of the capital
stock of Seller or assets of Seller, (B) to enter into any merger, consolidation
or other business combination or

                                      -38-

similar  transaction  with  Seller  or the  Operations  or (C) to  enter  into a
recapitalization, reorganization or any other extraordinary business transaction
involving or otherwise relating to Seller or the Operations, (ii) participate in
any discussions, conversations,  negotiations or other communications regarding,

effort or  attempt  by any other  Person to seek to do any of the  foregoing  or
(iii) commence any proceeding to merge,  consolidate or liquidate or dissolve or
obligate  itself  to do so.  Seller  immediately  shall  cease  and  cause to be
terminated  all  existing  discussions,  conversations,  negotiations  and other
communications with any Persons conducted  heretofore with respect to any of the
foregoing. Seller shall notify Purchaser promptly if any such proposal or offer,
or any inquiry or other  contact with any Person with respect  thereto,  is made
and shall,  in any such notice to Purchaser,  indicate in reasonable  detail the
identity of Person making such proposal, offer, inquiry or contact and the terms
and conditions of such proposal,  offer, inquiry or other contact. Seller agrees
not to release, without the prior written consent of Purchaser, any Person from,
or waive any provision of, any confidentiality or standstill  agreement to which
Seller is a party.

                  Section 5.15  Exemption  from  Registration  or Securities Act
Registration;   Preparation  of  Notice  of  Meeting  and  Proxy   Statement  or
Information Statement.

         (a) Seller  and PPT shall use their  commercial  reasonable  efforts to
prepare,  execute  and file all  necessary  documents  in order to  qualify  the
conveyance  of the Shares  and the shares  comprising  the  Earnout  Amount as a
private  placement of securities (the "Private  Placement  Documents") such that
neither this Agreement nor any of the Transaction Documents nor any transactions
contemplated hereunder and thereunder, involve any public offering of securities
within the meaning of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, and accordingly, under
Rule 506 of Regulation D, render the registration provisions of Section 5 of the
Securities  Act  inapplicable  to  such  transactions  (the  "Private  Placement
Alternative").

         (b) However, notwithstanding the foregoing, if Seller and PPT determine
that the Private  Placement  Alternative is  unavailable or undesirable  for any
reason,  then, as promptly as practicable after such  determination,  Seller and
PPT shall  prepare,  and PPT shall file with the SEC,  a Form S-4 which may,  or
shall  if  required  by  applicable  law,  include  Seller's  preliminary  proxy
materials or consent of solicitation relating to the approval of this Agreement,
the  Transaction  Documents  and the  transactions  contemplated  hereunder  and
thereunder by the stockholders of Seller and a prospectus  relating to the offer
and sale of the Shares and the shares  comprising  the Earnout  Amount (the "S-4
Alternative") which complies in form with applicable SEC requirements and Seller
shall use all  reasonable  efforts to cause the Form S-4 to become  effective as
soon after the receipt of final  comments  from the SEC thereon as  practicable.
Such proxy statement/prospectus shall include the recommendation of the Board of
Directors of Seller in favor of this Agreement,  the  Transaction  Documents and
the transactions contemplated hereunder and thereunder.  Seller shall furnish to
PPT all information  concerning  Seller and the stockholders of Seller as may be
reasonably  requested in connection with any action contemplated by this Section
5.15(c).

         (c) As soon as  practicable  after  the  execution  of this  Agreement,
Seller,  in  consultation  with PPT,  shall  prepare (a) a Notice of Meeting and
Proxy Statement or (b) Information  Statement (as applicable,  the  "Statement")
for the stockholders of Seller to approve

                                      -39-

this Agreement,  the  Transaction  Documents and the  transactions  contemplated
hereunder and thereunder.  The Statement and Private  Placement  Documents shall
constitute  a  disclosure  document for the offer and sale of Common Stock to be
received by the  stockholders of Seller under this  Agreement.  Seller shall use
commercially  reasonable  efforts,  with the  cooperation  of PPT, to cause such
statement to be distributed to the stockholders of Seller promptly following the
actions contemplated by the Private Placement Alternative.  PPT and Seller shall
each use commercially  reasonable  efforts to cause the Statement to comply with
applicable federal and state securities laws requirements.  PPT and Seller agree
to provide  promptly to the other such  information  concerning its business and
financial  statements and affairs as in the reasonable judgment of the providing
party or its  counsel,  may be  required or  appropriate  for  inclusion  in the
Statement, or in any amendments or supplements thereto, and to cause its counsel
and  auditors  to  cooperate  with  the  other's  counsel  and  auditors  in the
preparation of the Statement.  PPT and Seller agree to provide  promptly  advise
the other,  in writing if at any time prior to the Closing Date either Seller or
PPT shall  obtain  knowledge  of any  facts  that  might  make it  necessary  or
appropriate to amend or supplement the Statement in order to make the statements
contained or incorporated by reference  therein not misleading or to comply with
applicable law. The Statement shall contain the  recommendation  of the Board of
Directors of Seller that the stockholders of Seller approve this Agreement,  the
Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereunder and thereunder
and the  conclusion  of the  Board of  Directors  of  Seller  that the terms and
conditions of this  Agreement,  the Transaction  Documents and the  transactions
contemplated hereunder and thereunder are fair and reasonable to Sellers and the
stockholders  of Seller.  Seller shall  otherwise use its best efforts to obtain
the requisite stockholder approval from the stockholders of Seller.  Anything to
the contrary contained herein  notwithstanding,  Seller shall not include in the
Statement any information  with respect to PPT,  Acquisition Co. or any of their
affiliates or  associates  the form and content of which  information  shall not
have been  approved  by PPT or  Acquisition  Co., as  applicable,  prior to such
inclusion.

         (d) Unless an Information Statement and an Action By Written Consent of
the  Stockholders in lieu of a meeting is used,  Seller shall promptly after the
date  hereof take all action  necessary  in  accordance  with  Delaware  General
Corporation Law and its Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, in each case as
amended and/or restated, to convene a stockholders' meeting (the "Seller Special
Meeting").  If the Private  Placement  Alternative is accomplished,  such Seller
Special  Meeting  will  follow as promptly as  practicable  thereafter  or after
effectiveness  of the Form S-4, if applicable.  Seller shall consult with PPT as
to the date of the Seller Special  Meeting and/or the Action by Written  Consent
of the  Stockholders  in lieu of a meeting  and shall not  postpone  or  adjourn
(other than for the absence of a quorum) the Seller Special  Meeting without the
consent of PPT.  Following the Private Placement  Alternative,  Seller shall use
its best efforts to solicit from the stockholders of Seller,  proxies or actions
by written consent in favor of this Agreement, the Transaction Documents and the
transactions  contemplated  hereunder  and  thereunder  and shall take all other
action  necessary or advisable to secure the vote or consent of the stockholders
of Seller  required by Delaware law to effect this  Agreement,  the  Transaction
Documents and the transactions contemplated hereunder and thereunder.

         (e) Seller, acting through its Board of Directors, shall include in the
proxy statement/  prospectus the  recommendation  of its Board of Directors that
the stockholders of Seller vote in favor of the adoption of this Agreement,  the
Transaction Documents and the transactions

                                      -40-

contemplated hereunder and thereunder,  and shall otherwise use its best efforts
to obtain the requisite stockholder approval from the stockholders of Seller.

         (f) If the Private  Placement  Alternative is not chosen and Seller and
PPT proceed with the S-4 Alternative,  none of the information supplied or to be
supplied  by or on behalf of Seller  for  inclusion  in the Form S-4 to be filed
with the SEC by PPT in  connection  with the issuance of Common Stock in or as a
result  of this  Agreement,  the  Transaction  Documents  and  the  transactions
contemplated hereunder and thereunder,  including the proxy statement,  will, at
the  date  such   information   is  supplied  and,  as  thereafter   amended  or
supplemented,  at the time of the Company  Special  Meeting,  contain any untrue
statement  of a material  fact or omit to state any material  fact  necessary in
order to make the statements  therein, in light of the circumstances under which
they are made, not misleading or, as thereafter  amended or supplemented,  will,
in the case of the Form S-4,  at the time the Form S-4 becomes  effective  under
the Securities Act,  contain any untrue  statement of a material fact or omit to
state any material fact required to be stated therein,  or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading.

                  Section  5.16  Support of  Operations.  If the Closing  occurs
prior to June 30, 2007,  absent a Material Adverse Effect,  as determined by and
in the sole discretion of Purchaser,  Purchaser shall provide  support,  as more
fully  described in Schedule  5.16,  to the  Operations to be  transferred  from
Seller to Purchaser as provided  herein in order to, in the reasonable  judgment
of Purchaser, enable the Minimum Revenue Trigger to be met.

                                   TERMINATION

                  Section  7.1  Termination.  Notwithstanding  anything  in this
Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement may be terminated prior to the Closing
as follows:

         (a) by the mutual written consent of Seller and Purchaser;

         (b) by  Purchaser,  by  delivery  of written  notice to Seller,  if the
Closing shall not have occurred prior to the close of business on the date which
is ninety (90) days  subsequent to the date hereof,  other than by reason of the
failure by Purchaser to perform in all material respects any of the covenants or
agreements contained in this Agreement;

         (c) at the  election  of Seller,  (i) if  Purchaser  has  breached  any
representation or warranty contained in this Agreement, which breach would cause
the  condition  set  forth in  Section  6.1(b) to not be  satisfied,  or (ii) if
Purchaser  has breached any covenant or agreement  contained in this  Agreement,
which breach  would cause the  condition  set forth in Section  6.1(b) to not be
satisfied,  in each case,  which breach has not been cured on or prior to thirty
(30) days  following  delivery  of  written  notice of such  breach by Seller to
Purchaser;

         (d) at the  election  of  Purchaser,  (i) if Seller  has  breached  any
representation or warranty contained in this Agreement, which breach would cause
the condition set forth in Section 6.2(b) to not be satisfied, or (ii) if Seller
has breached any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement, which breach
would cause the  condition set forth in Section  6.2(b) to not be satisfied,  in
each  case  which  breach  has not been  cured on or prior to  thirty  (30) days
following delivery of written notice of such breach by Purchaser to Seller; or

         (e) at the  election  of  Seller  on the one hand or  Purchaser  on the
other,  if any legal  proceeding is commenced or threatened by any  Governmental
Body directed against the  consummation of the Closing or any other  transaction
contemplated  under this  Agreement and Purchaser or Seller (as the case may be)
reasonably  and in good faith deems it  impractical or inadvisable to proceed in
view of such legal  proceeding  or threat  thereof or by either the Purchaser or
Seller in the event that any  Governmental  Body  shall have  issued an Order or
taken any other  action  restraining,  enjoining or  otherwise  prohibiting  the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement and such Order or other action shall
have become final and nonappealable.

         If this Agreement so terminates, it shall become null and void and have
no further force or effect except as provided in Section 7.2.

                                      -44-

                  Section  7.2  Effect  of  Termination.  In  the  event  of the
termination  of this  Agreement  pursuant to Section 7.1, this  Agreement  shall
thereafter  become  void and have no further  force or effect,  except  that the
obligations  provided for in this Section 7.2, Section 5.9, the  confidentiality
provisions  contained  in Section  5.4 and  Article  IX and any  confidentiality
agreements  between  Purchaser and Seller shall survive any such  termination of
this Agreement.  Neither party hereto shall have any liability in respect of the
termination  of this  Agreement  except (a) as set forth in this Section 7.2 and
under those provisions of this Agreement that survive such termination,  and (b)
such termination shall not relieve either party from liability for any breach of
any provision of this Agreement.

                                  Article VIII

                                 INDEMNIFICATION

                  Section  8.1  Indemnification  by  Seller.  Seller  agrees  to
indemnify  Purchaser  against and hold Purchaser and its  Affiliates,  officers,
directors,   employees,  agents,  successors  and  assigns  (each  a  "Purchaser
Indemnified  Party") harmless from and against, in the manner and subject to the
limitations  and  qualifications  set  forth in this  Section  8.1,  any and all
Liabilities,  losses,  diminution in value, damages, Claims, costs and expenses,

them  (including  any Action brought or otherwise  initiated by any  Indemnified
Party) (hereinafter "Losses"), arising out of or resulting from:

         (a) the  breach  of any  representation  or  warranty  made  by  Seller
contained in this Agreement or any of the Transaction  Documents to which Seller
is a party; or

         (b) the breach of any covenant or agreement by Seller contained in this
Agreement or in any of the Transaction Documents to which Seller is a party; or

         (c) any and all Losses suffered or incurred by a Purchaser  Indemnified
Party by  reason  of or in  connection  with any Claim or cause of action of any
third party  (including  claims for  compensation,  commissions  or expenses for
services  as a broker  or  finder)  to the  extent  arising  out of any  action,
inaction,  event,  condition,  Liability or  obligation  of Seller  occurring or
existing prior to the Closing; or

         (d) Excluded Assets;

         (e) Liabilities, whether arising before or after the Closing Date, that
are not expressly assumed by the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement, including
the Excluded Liabilities (including any Liabilities arising under Section 5.9 of
this Agreement and any  Liabilities for Taxes now or hereafter owed by Seller or
any  Affiliate  of  Seller,  or  attributable  to  the  Acquired  Assets  or the
Operations,  relating to any period, or any portion of any period,  ending on or
prior to the Closing Date); or

         (f) any failure to comply with Laws relating to bulk  transfers or bulk
sales  with  respect  to  the   transactions   contemplated  by  this  Agreement
(notwithstanding the waiver contained in Section 5.10).

                                      -45-

                  Section 8.2 Indemnification by Purchaser.  Purchaser agrees to
indemnify  Seller  against  and  hold  Seller  and  its  Affiliates,   officers,
directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns (each a "Seller Indemnified
Party") harmless from and against,  in the manner and subject to the limitations
and qualifications  set forth in this Article VIII, any and all Losses,  arising
out of or resulting from:

         (a) the breach of any  representation  or  warranty  made by  Purchaser
contained  in  this  Agreement  or any of the  Transaction  Documents  to  which
Purchaser is a party; or

         (b) the breach of any covenant or  agreement by Purchaser  contained in
this  Agreement  or any of the  Transaction  Documents  to which  Purchaser is a
party; or

         (c) the Assumed Liabilities; or

         (d) any and all Losses  suffered or  incurred  by a Seller  Indemnified
Party by  reason  of or in  connection  with any Claim or cause of action of any
third party  (including  claims for  compensation,  commissions  or expenses for
services  as a broker  or  finder)  to the  extent  arising  out of any  action,
inaction,  event, condition,  Liability or obligation of the Purchaser occurring
or existing after to the Closing.

                  Section 8.3 Defense of Claims. An Indemnified Party shall give
the Indemnifying  Party written notice of any action,  claim,  suit or demand (a
"Claim") of which such  Indemnified  Party has  knowledge and as to which it may
request indemnification hereunder, within sixty (60) days of such determination,
stating the amount of the Loss, if known, method of computation  thereof, and in
reasonable  detail  the  factual  basis of such Claim  with a  reference  to the
provisions of this  Agreement in respect of which such right of  indemnification
is claimed or arises.  The obligations and Liabilities of the Indemnifying Party
under this Article VIII with respect to Losses  arising from claims of any third
party that are subject to the indemnification  provided for in this Article VIII
("Third Party Claims") shall be governed by and be contingent upon the following
additional terms and conditions: if an Indemnified Party shall receive notice of
any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified  Party shall give the Indemnifying  Party
written  notice of such Third Party Claim within thirty (30) days of the receipt
by the Indemnified Party of notice of such Third Party Claim; provided, however,
that the  failure to provide  such  notice to the  Indemnifying  Party shall not
release the  Indemnifying  Party from any of its obligations  under this Article
VIII except to the extent that the Indemnifying  Party is materially  prejudiced
by such  failure  and shall not relieve  the  Indemnifying  Party from any other
obligation or Liability that it may have to any Indemnified Party otherwise than
under this Article VIII. If the Indemnifying  Party  acknowledges in writing its
obligation to indemnify the Indemnified  Party hereunder against any Losses that
may result from such Third Party  Claim,  then the  Indemnifying  Party shall be
entitled  to assume and  control  the  defense of such Third  Party Claim at its
expense and through counsel of its choice if it gives notice of its intention to
do so to the  Indemnified  Party  within  ten (10) days of the  receipt  of such
notice from the Indemnified  Party;  provided,  however,  if such Claim seeks an
injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified  Party,  subject to
the last  sentence of this  Section 8.3,  the  Indemnified  Party shall have the
right to participate  in and jointly  control the defense of any portion of such
Claim  and to  retain  its  own  counsel  in each  jurisdiction  for  which  the
Indemnified  Party  determines  counsel  is  required,  which  counsel  shall be
reasonably acceptable to the

                                      -46-

Indemnifying  Party, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. In the event that
the Indemnifying Party exercises the right to undertake any such defense against
any such Third  Party  Claim as  provided  above,  the  Indemnified  Party shall
cooperate with the Indemnifying  Party in such defense and make available to the
Indemnifying  Party,  at  the  Indemnifying   Party's  expense,  all  witnesses,
pertinent  records,   materials  and  information  in  the  Indemnified  Party's
possession  or under the  Indemnified  Party's  control  relating  thereto as is
reasonably  required  by the  Indemnifying  Party.  Similarly,  in the event the
Indemnified Party is, directly or indirectly, conducting the defense against any
such  Third  Party  Claim,  the  Indemnifying  Party  shall  cooperate  with the
Indemnified  Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnified  Party,
at the Indemnifying Party's expense, all such witnesses,  records, materials and
information in the  Indemnifying  Party's  possession or under the  Indemnifying
Party's control  relating  thereto as is reasonably  required by the Indemnified
Party. If the Indemnifying  Party elects and is entitled to compromise or defend
such Claim,  it shall within  thirty (30) days (or sooner,  if the nature of the
Claim so  requires)  notify  the  Indemnified  Party of its intent to do so. The
Indemnified  Party shall have the right to employ  separate  counsel in any such
Claim and participate in the defense thereof,  but the fees and expenses of such
counsel  shall  be at the  expense  of the  Indemnified  Party  unless  (i)  the
Indemnifying  Party  shall fail to assume the  defense of such Claim as provided
herein or (ii) the  Indemnified  Party shall have been  advised by such  counsel
that there is or is likely to  develop a conflict  of  interest  for  counsel in
representing both the indemnifying  party and the indemnified party with respect
to such Claim in which case the fees and  expenses of counsel  shall be borne by
the Indemnifying  Party. If the  Indemnifying  Party elects not to compromise or
defend such Claim or fails to notify the  Indemnified  Party of its  election as
herein provided,  the Indemnified Party may pay, compromise or defend such Claim
at the  Indemnifying  Party's  expense,  subject to the limitations set forth in
this Article VIII.  Except as set forth in the immediately  preceding  sentence,
the Indemnifying Party shall have no indemnification obligations with respect to
any such Claim which shall be settled by the Indemnified Party without the prior
written  consent  of  the  Indemnifying   Party  (which  consent  shall  not  be
unreasonably withheld or delayed).  The Indemnifying Party's right to direct the
defense,  if applicable,  shall include the right to compromise or enter into an
agreement settling any Claim by a third party; provided, that no such compromise
or  settlement  shall be entered into without the prior  written  consent of the
Indemnified  Party (which may be withheld in its sole  discretion  /unreasonably
withheld) (i) if such compromise or settlement  provides for injunctive or other
nonmonetary or equitable relief affecting the Indemnified  Party or (ii) if such
compromise or settlement does not include as an  unconditional  term thereof the
giving by each  claimant or  plaintiff  to such  Indemnified  Party of a general
release from any and all liability  with respect to such Claim.  Notwithstanding
the foregoing,  in the event that the Indemnified Party withholds its consent to
a settlement  proposal that involves  nothing other than the payment of monetary
damages for which the  Indemnifying  Party will be responsible,  the Indemnified
Party shall  indemnify  and hold  harmless the  Indemnifying  Party  against any
Losses suffered by the Indemnifying Party as a result of the Indemnified Party's
withholding of its consent to such settlement  proposal.  The Indemnifying Party
will make  promptly  any payment  required  to be made by it to the  Indemnified
Party under this Article VIII.

                  Section 8.4 Survival of Representations and Warranties.

         (a) The  representations  and  warranties  of Seller  contained in this
Agreement and the Transaction Documents to which Seller is a party shall survive
the Closing for a period of twelve

                                      -47-

(12)  months  from  the  Closing   Date;   provided,   however,   that  (i)  the
representations  and  warranties  made  pursuant to Section  3.1,  Section  3.2,
Section  3.7  and  Section  3.22  shall  survive   indefinitely   and  (ii)  the
representations  and  warranties  made  pursuant to Section  3.16 and 3.17 shall
survive the Closing until thirty (30) calendar days  following the expiration of
the applicable  statute of  limitations  governing such claims (giving effect to
any  waiver or  extension  thereof).  Neither  the  period of  survival  nor the
liability of Seller with respect to the Seller's  representations and warranties
shall  be  reduced  by any  investigation  made at any time by or on  behalf  of
Purchaser.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,  if written notice of any Claim under
this Article VIII has been given prior to the expiration of the period  covering
the applicable  representations  and warranties by Purchaser to Seller, then the
relevant  representations  and  warranties  shall survive as to such Claim until
such Claim has been finally resolved.

         (b) The  representations  and warranties of Purchaser contained in this
Agreement  and the  Transaction  Documents  to which  Purchaser is a party shall
survive the Closing  until twelve (12) months from the Closing  Date;  provided,
however,  that the  representations and warranties made pursuant to Section 4.1,
Section 4.2, Section 4.5 and Section 4.7 shall survive indefinitely. Neither the
period of survival nor the  liability of Purchaser  with respect to  Purchaser's
representations and warranties shall be reduced by any investigation made at any
time by or on behalf of Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if written notice
of any Claim under this Article VIII has been given prior to the  expiration  of
the period covering the applicable  representations  and warranties by Purchaser
to Seller, then the relevant  representations and warranties shall survive as to
such Claim until such Claim has been finally resolved.

                  Section 8.5 Offset.  The parties  agree that the amount of any
Losses  payable or  reimbursable  to  Purchaser  under this  Article VIII may be
satisfied,  in the sole and absolute discretion of Purchaser,  out of Shares and
the shares  comprising the Earnout Amount, if any, issued by Purchaser to Seller
under this Agreement.

                                   Article IX

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

                  Section 9.1 Amendments; Non-Contractual Remedies; Preservation
of Remedies.  This Agreement may be amended,  superseded,  canceled,  renewed or
extended,  and the terms  hereof  may be  waived,  only by a written  instrument
signed by Purchaser and Seller or, in the case of a waiver,  in accordance  with
Section  9.2, by or on behalf of the party  waiving  compliance.  The rights and
remedies of any party based upon,  arising out of or otherwise in respect of any
inaccuracy in or breach of any representation,  warranty,  covenant or agreement
contained in this Agreement or any document delivered pursuant to this Agreement
shall in no way be limited  by the fact that the act,  omission,  occurrence  or
other  state of facts upon which any claim of any such  inaccuracy  or breach is
based may also be the  subject  matter of any  other  representation,  warranty,
covenant or  agreement  contained in this  Agreement  or any document  delivered
pursuant to this Agreement as to which there is no inaccuracy or breach.

                  Section 9.2 Waiver.  Any party  hereto may (a) extend the time
for the  performance  of any of the  obligations or other acts of another party,
(b) waive any  inaccuracies  in the  representations  and  warranties of another
party  contained  herein or in any document

                                      -48-

delivered by another party pursuant  hereto or (c) waive  compliance with any of
the  agreements  of another  party or  conditions  to such  party's  obligations
contained herein.  Any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth
in an instrument in writing signed by the party to be bound thereby. The failure
of any party to assert any of its rights hereunder shall not constitute a waiver
of any of such  rights.  No  delay on the part of any  party in  exercising  any
right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. Nor shall
any waiver on the part of any party of any such right,  power or privilege,  nor
any single or partial exercise of any such right,  power or privilege,  preclude
any further exercise  thereof or the exercise of any other such right,  power or
privilege.  Any  waiver of any term or  condition  shall not be  construed  as a
waiver  of any  subsequent  breach  or a  subsequent  waiver of the same term or
condition,  or a waiver of any other term or  condition of this  Agreement.  All
rights and remedies  existing  under this  Agreement are  cumulative to, and not
exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.

                  Section 9.3 Governing Law. THIS  AGREEMENT  SHALL BE DEEMED TO
BE MADE IN AND IN ALL RESPECTS SHALL BE  INTERPRETED,  CONSTRUED AND GOVERNED BY
AND IN  ACCORDANCE  WITH THE  INTERNAL  LAW, AND NOT THE LAW OF CONFLICTS OF THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA  APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED  ENTIRELY
WITHIN SUCH STATE.

                  Section 9.4 Submission of Jurisdiction;  Waiver of Jury Trial.
The parties hereto irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state
or federal court sitting in the County of San Diego,  in the State of California
over any suit, action or Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement
or  the  transactions  contemplated  hereby.  To the  fullest  extent  they  may
effectively do so under applicable Law, the parties hereto irrevocably waive and
agree not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, any claim that
they are not subject to the  jurisdiction of any such court,  any objection that
they may now or  hereafter  have to the  laying of the  venue of any such  suit,
action or proceeding brought in any such court and any claim that any such suit,
action  or  Proceeding  brought  in  any  such  court  has  been  brought  in an
inconvenient  forum.  EACH PARTY  ACKNOWLEDGES  AND AGREES THAT ANY  CONTROVERSY
WHICH MAY ARISE  UNDER  THIS  AGREEMENT  IS LIKELY TO  INVOLVE  COMPLICATED  AND
DIFFICULT   ISSUES,   AND   THEREFORE   EACH  PARTY   HEREBY   IRREVOCABLY   AND
UNCONDITIONALLY  WAIVES ANY RIGHT  SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY.  EACH
PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (i) NO  REPRESENTATIVE,  AGENT OR ATTORNEY
OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS  REPRESENTED,  EXPRESSLY  OR  OTHERWISE,  THAT SUCH OTHER
PARTY  WOULD NOT,  IN THE EVENT OF  LITIGATION,  SEEK TO ENFORCE  THE  FOREGOING
WAIVER,  (ii) SUCH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS
WAIVER,  (iii) SUCH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER  VOLUNTARILY AND (iv) SUCH PARTY HAS
BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS  AGREEMENT  BY, AMONG OTHER  THINGS,  THE MUTUAL
WAIVERS, AGREEMENTS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS Section 9.4.

                  Section 9.5 Specific Performance. Each party hereto agrees and
acknowledges  that remedies at law for any breach of its obligations  under this
Agreement are  inadequate and will cause  irreparable  harm and that in addition
thereto, the non-breaching parties

                                      -49-

shall be entitled to seek equitable  relief,  including  injunction and specific
performance, in the event of any such breach.

                  Section 9.6 Notices. Any notices, requests, claims, demands or
other communications required under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall
be given or made (and  shall be  deemed  to have  been  duly  given or made upon
receipt) by delivery  in person,  by  nationally  recognized  overnight  courier
