<PAGE>

3. COMPENSATION. In consideration for the services to be rendered by you as an
Advisory Board member you will be compensated as follows

      a.    STOCK OPTIONS. Pending board approval, you will be granted an option
            to purchase 60,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock. The
            exercise price of the option shall be the fair market value of the
            Common Stock as determined by the Board of Directors on the date of
            grant. The option shall vest quarterly over three years starting
            from the Appointment Date; provided that upon a change of control of
            the Company due to an acquisition vesting shall accelerate in full.
            Any vested options shall remain exercisable for a period of 12
            months after termination of this Agreement. Any unvested options
            shall be forfeited upon termination of this Agreement.

4. EXPENSES. The Company shall reimburse you, on a monthly basis, for all usual,

pre-approval of the expenses by the Company and satisfactory receipt by the
Company of appropriate documentary proof of all expenditures for which
reimbursement is sought and the approval thereof by the Company.

5. TERMINATION. You or the Company may terminate this Agreement and your
engagement at any time upon written notice (including e-mail notice) to the
other party (with such termination being effective when the writing is sent)
provided that the provisions of Sections 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13 shall
survive any such termination. In the event of a termination, you shall be
entitled to payment of pre-approved expenses paid or incurred prior to the
effective date of termination, within 10 business days, upon satisfactory
receipt by the Company of appropriate documentary proof of such expenditures.
The foregoing shall constitute full settlement of any and all claims you have
against the Company.

6. CONFIDENTIALITY. In the course of your appointment, one party (the
"Disclosing Party") could convey information to the other (the "Receiving
Party") that it deems confidential ("Confidential Information"). A Receiving
Party shall protect the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information by using at
least the same degree of care, but no less than reasonable care, to prevent the
unauthorized use, disclosure or publication of the Confidential Information as
the Receiving Party uses to protect its own Confidential Information of like
nature. No license or other rights with respect to the Confidential Information
is hereby granted or intended. The Receiving Party shall not, and shall not
enable or allow any third party to, reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble
any software disclosed by the Disclosing Party and shall not remove, overprint
or deface any notice of copyright, trademark, logo, legend, or other notices of
ownership from any originals or copies of Confidential Information it obtains
from the Disclosing Party. The obligation to maintain Confidential Information
as confidential under this Agreement shall continue in effect for the term of
this Agreement and shall extend for such time until as the information in
question no longer constitutes Confidential Information.

7. NON-SOLICITATION. During the term of your appointment, you shall not directly
solicit for employment any employee of Company with whom you have had contact
due to your appointment.

8. INDEMNIFICATION. The Company shall indemnify you, defend you, and hold you
harmless from and against any and all expenses (including, without limitation,
expenses of investigation and preparation and reasonable fees and disbursements
of your counsel, accountants or other experts), losses, claims, demands,
liabilities, damages, judgments, settlements, fines and penalties, by reason of,
relating to, or arising from your services rendered to the Company under this
Agreement, unless you have acted outside the framework of your appointment.

<PAGE>

9. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS. Your relationship to the Company is that of an
independent contractor, and nothing in this Agreement will be deemed to
establish any other relationship between you and the Company, such as
employer-employee, principal-agent, partners or joint ventures. The Company
shall have no control over the means or manner of performance by you of your
obligations under this Agreement. Unless expressly authorized in writing by the
Company, you shall not contract for or incur any obligations in the name of, or
for the account of, the Company, accept payment from any party of any obligation
due the Company, or make any representation, guaranty or other agreement
relating to the business of the Company.

10. GOVERNING LAW, ENTIRE AGREEMENT AND AMENDMENTS. This Agreement shall be
construed, interpreted and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of
California. With respect to the subject matter hereof, this is the entire
agreement between the parties and this Agreement supersedes all prior
communications between the parties, whether written or oral. This Agreement may
be amended or modified only by a written instrument executed by both you and the
Company.

11. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to
the benefit of, both parties and their respective successors and assigns,
including any corporation or other entity with which, or into which, the Company
may be merged or which may succeed to its assets or business, provided, however,
that your obligations are personal and shall not be assigned by you.

12. WAIVER. No delay or omission by the Company in exercising any right under
this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of that or any other right. A waiver or
consent given by the Company on any one occasion shall be effective only in that
instance and shall not be construed as a bar or waiver of any right on any other
occasion.

13. SEVERABILITY. In the event that any provision of this Agreement or any
portion thereof shall be invalid, illegal or otherwise unenforceable, the
validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or any portion
thereof shall in no way be affected or impaired thereby.

    We are delighted to offer you this appointment and look forward to working
with you. Please confirm that the foregoing correctly sets forth our agreement
by signing in the space provided below and returning the original to the
Company, whereupon this letter shall constitute a binding agreement as of the
date of your signature.

Assets for all purposes (including financial accounting and tax purposes) in accordance with the allocation schedule attached hereto as Schedule 1.2(b). The Buyer
and the Seller agree that the allocation schedule attached as Schedule 1.2(b) shall be prepared in accordance with the provisions of Section 1060 of the Code, the Treasury Regulations

Returns of the Seller and the Buyer shall be filed consistently with the information set forth on Schedule 1.2(b). Moreover, the Seller and the Buyer further agree
to file IRS Form 8594 (and any corresponding form required to be filed by a state or local Taxing Authority) in a manner that is consistent with the information on
Schedule 1.2(b). The Seller and the Buyer agree to promptly provide each other with any information necessary to complete such Tax Returns and IRS Forms 8594
(and any corresponding form required to be filed by a state or local Taxing Authority). The Seller and the Buyer shall not take any position on a Tax Return, tax proceeding or audit that is
inconsistent with any information set forth on Schedule 1.2(b), unless either of them has received written advice from its tax advisors that such reporting is more
likely than not to result in the accrual of interest and/or penalties. 

        (d)    Inventory Adjustment.    The Closing Date Inventory Amount shall be determined as
follows: 

          (i)  The

determination of the book value of the Inventory as of the Closing Date determined in accordance with Section 1.2(d)(ii). With respect to any Inventory location for which (A) the third
party service provider that manages such Inventory location has received an unqualified opinion on a Report on Controls Placed in Operation and Tests of Operating Effectiveness (SAS 70 Type II)
or (B) the net book value of the Inventory at such location is less than $100,000, the Parties will rely on the physical count made by the third party service provider that manages such
Inventory location, provided that such physical count is made no earlier than thirty (30) days prior to the Closing Date. The Parties will rely upon the physical count made by any such third
party service provider to calculate the net book value of the Inventory at the locations referenced in the preceding sentence on the Closing Date. The fees and expenses of the Neutral Accountant shall
be shared equally by the Buyer and the Seller, with each Party being severally, but not jointly, responsible for one half (1/2) of such fees and expenses. 

         (ii)  The
Buyer and the Seller shall each be permitted to have one or more representatives present during such physical count. The Neutral Accountant shall
(A) determine the book value of the Inventory in accordance with GAAP, which Inventory shall also exclude the Expired Inventory, and be valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value on a
first-in, first-out basis and (B) deliver on the Closing Date to the Buyer and the Seller a report (the "Actual Closing Date Inventory
Report"), which shall be binding on the Buyer and the Seller, reflecting its determinations regarding the book value of the Inventory and setting forth the specific adjustments to the
Inventory amount if any (the "Actual Closing Date Inventory Amount"). Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Actual Closing Date
Inventory Amount exceed $1,800,000. 

        (e)    A/R Adjustment.    

          (i)  No
less than three (3) business days prior to the Closing Date, the Seller shall prepare and deliver to the Buyer a certificate (the "Estimated Net
A/R Certificate") setting forth its good faith estimate of the Net A/R (the "Estimated Net A/R") of the Seller as of the Closing. At the Closing, the Buyer
shall pay to the Seller the amount of the Estimated Net A/R or receive a credit against the Purchase Price if, and to the extent, the Estimated Net A/R is negative. The Estimated Net A/R
and the Net A/R shall be determined in accordance with GAAP, applied on a consistent basis. 

         (ii)  As
promptly as practicable, but no later than one hundred twenty (120) days after the Closing Date, the Buyer will cause to be prepared and delivered to the
Seller a certificate of the Buyer setting forth its calculation of the Net A/R (the "Buyer's Net A/R Certificate"). 

        (A)  If
the Seller disagrees with the calculation of the Net A/R set forth in the Buyer's Net A/R Certificate, the Seller shall deliver, within thirty (30) days after
delivery of the Buyer's Net A/R Certificate, a notice to the Buyer disagreeing with such calculation (the "Seller's Notice of Disagreement"). The Seller's Notice of
Disagreement shall specify those items or amounts as to which the Seller disagrees and the Seller's proposed computation of the Net A/R. If within thirty (30) days following the date on which
the Buyer's Net A/R Certificate is delivered by the Buyer to the Seller, the Seller has not delivered to the Buyer in writing the Seller's Notice of Disagreement, if any, then the amount of the Net
A/R set forth in the Buyer's Net A/R Certificate will be final and binding on the Parties. 

        (B)  If
the Seller's Notice of Disagreement is timely delivered pursuant to Section 1.2(e)(ii)(A), the Buyer and the Seller shall, during the fifteen (15) days
following such delivery, negotiate reasonably and in good faith to reach agreement on the items or amounts disputed by the Seller in the Seller's Notice of Disagreement. If during such 

4

 

fifteen
(15) day period, the Buyer and the Seller are able to reach such agreement, then the Net A/R as agreed to will be final and binding on the Parties. If however during such fifteen
(15) day period, the Buyer and the Seller are unable to reach such agreement, they shall promptly thereafter cause the Neutral Accountant to review the disputed items or amounts for the purpose
of calculating the Net A/R. In making such calculation, the Neutral Accountant shall consider only those items or amounts in the Buyer's Net A/R Certificate as to which the Seller has disagreed in the
Seller's Notice of Disagreement. The Neutral Accountant shall deliver to the Buyer and the Seller, as promptly as practicable, a report setting forth such calculation. Such report shall be final and
binding upon the Buyer and the Seller, absent manifest error. The fees and expenses of the Neutral Accountant's review and report shall be borne equally by the Parties, with each Party being
severally, but not jointly, responsible for one half (1/2) of such fees and expenses. 

        (C)  Each
of the Buyer and the Seller will make the work papers and back-up materials used in preparing the Buyer's A/R Certificate and the Seller's Notice of
Disagreement, as the case may be, available to the other Party, their accountants and other representatives, and the Neutral Accountant, at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice during
(i) the review by such Person and (ii) the resolution by the Parties of any dispute in connection therewith. 

        (iii)  Within
ten (10) days after the Net A/R has been determined, either by agreement of the Parties, the failure of the Seller to so timely deliver the Seller's
Notice of Disagreement or following resolution of such Notice of Disagreement in accordance with Section 1.2(e)(ii)(B) ("Final Net A/R"), the Buyer or the Seller,
as the case may be, shall make the following payments to each other: 

        (A)  If
the Final Net A/R exceeds the Estimated Net A/R, then the Buyer shall pay to the Seller the amount of such difference. 

        (B)  If
the Estimated Net A/R exceeds the Final Net A/R, then the Seller shall pay to the Buyer the amount of such difference. 

        (iv)  Notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Estimated Net A/R or the Final Net A/R exceed $450,000. 

        (f)    Any
payment or credits made pursuant to Section 1.2(e) shall be deemed an adjustment to the Purchase Price. Any payment due after the Closing Date pursuant to
Section 1.2(e) by the Buyer or the Seller shall be made in immediately available funds by wire transfer to the account designated in writing by the Seller or the Buyer, as the case may be. 

        1.3    The Closing.    

        (a)    Time and Location.    The Closing shall take place at the offices of Wilmer Cutler
Pickering Hale and Dorr LLP in Boston, Massachusetts, commencing at 10:00 a.m., local time, on the Closing Date or at the request of either Party by a mutually agreed upon method for the
exchange of documents. 

        (b)    Actions at the Closing.    At the Closing:

        (ix)  the
Seller and the Buyer shall execute and deliver such other instruments of conveyance as the Buyer may reasonably request in order to effect the sale, transfer,
conveyance and assignment to the Buyer of the Acquired Assets; 

         (x)  the
Buyer and the Seller shall execute and deliver such other instruments as the Seller may reasonably request in order to effect the assumption by the Buyer of the
Assumed Liabilities; 

        (xi)  the
Seller shall transfer to the Buyer all the books, records, files and other data (or copies thereof) within the possession or control of the Seller relating to the
Acquired Assets and reasonably necessary for the continued operation of the Business by the Buyer; 

       (xii)  the
Buyer shall pay to the Seller the Purchase Price in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds into an account designated by the Seller, which account
shall be designated by the Seller two (2) Business Days prior to Closing; 

      (xiii)  the

      (xiv)  each

       (xv)  the
Seller shall deliver fully signed releases or termination statements of all Security Interests for any Acquired Assets; 

      (xvi)  the
Seller shall deliver to the Buyer the Seller's calculation of the Actual Closing Date Inventory Amount; and 

     (xvii)  the
Parties shall execute and deliver to each other a cross-receipt evidencing the transactions referred to above. 

        1.4    Consents to Assignment.    

        (a)   Anything
in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign or transfer any contract, lease, authorization,
license or permit, or any claim, right or benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom, if an attempted assignment or transfer thereof, without the consent of a third party thereto or of the
issuing Governmental Entity, as the case may be, would constitute a breach thereof. If Deferred Consent is not obtained, or if an attempted assignment or transfer thereof would be ineffective or would
affect the rights thereunder so that the Buyer would not receive all such rights, then, in each such case, (a) the Deferred Item shall be withheld from sale pursuant to this Agreement without
any reduction in the Purchase Price, (b) from and after the Closing, the Seller and the Buyer will cooperate, in all reasonable respects, to obtain such Deferred Consent as soon as practicable
after the Closing, provided that the Seller shall not be required to make any payments to any counterparty to a Contract or agree to any material undertakings in connection therewith, and
(c) until such Deferred Consent is obtained, the Seller and the Buyer will cooperate, in all reasonable respects, to provide to the Buyer the benefits under the Deferred Item to which such
Deferred Consent relates (with the Buyer entitled to all the gains and responsible for all the losses, Taxes, Liabilities and/or obligations thereunder). In particular, in the event that any such
Deferred Consent is not obtained prior to the Closing, then the Buyer and the Seller shall enter into such arrangements 

6

 

(including
subleasing or subcontracting if permitted) to provide to the Parties the economic and operational equivalent of obtaining such Deferred Consent and assigning or transferring such contract,
lease, authorization, license or permit, including enforcement for the benefit of the Buyer of all claims
or rights arising thereunder, and the performance by the Buyer of the obligations thereunder on a prompt and punctual basis. 

        (b)   From
and after the Closing, the Seller hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Buyer or Buyer's designee as the Seller's true and lawful attorney in fact, to
execute and deliver any and all documents and instruments in the name of the Seller and to take all such action and do all such things as the Seller could personally do if present to the extent
necessary or required to carry out the provisions of this Agreement, including, without limitation Section 9.9 (it being agreed that the Buyer and its designees shall have no authority to
obligate the Seller to make any payments or agree to any material undertakings inconsistent with this Agreement). The power of attorney is irrevocable and is deemed coupled with an interest. 

        1.5    Further Assurances.    At any time and from time to time after the Closing Date,
as and when requested by any Party hereto and at such Party's expense, the other Party or Parties shall promptly execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such documents,
instruments and certificates and shall take, or cause to be taken, all such further or other actions as are reasonably necessary to evidence and effectuate the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, without additional consideration. 

 ARTICLE II

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE SELLER  

        The Seller represents and warrants to the Buyer that the statements contained in this Article II are true and correct as of the
date hereof, subject to the Disclosure Schedule. The Disclosure Schedule shall be arranged in sections and subsections corresponding to the numbered and lettered sections and subsections contained in
this Article II. The disclosures in a section or subsection of the Disclosure Schedule shall qualify a subsection in this Article II to the extent that such subsection of a
representation in this Article II is qualified by an express reference to the Disclosure Schedule corresponding to such subsection. If such disclosure complies with the prior sentence, then
such disclosure shall also qualify other provisions of the Disclosure Schedule to the extent it is reasonably clear from a reading of the disclosure that such disclosure is applicable to such
subsection so qualified. The inclusion of any information in the Disclosure Schedule (or any update thereto) shall not be deemed to be an admission or acknowledgment, in and of itself, that such
information is required by the terms hereof to be disclosed, is material to the Business, has resulted in or would result in a Business Material Adverse Effect, or is outside the ordinary course of
business. For purposes of this Agreement, the phrase "to the knowledge of the Seller" or any phrase of similar import shall mean and be limited to the actual knowledge of the following individuals:
(i) The Chief Executive Officer, President and Interim Chief Financial Officer, and (ii) the Deputy General Counsel, Secretary and Treasurer, and (iii) the Controller.

        (a)   The
Seller is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of its jurisdiction of organization and is duly qualified to conduct
business under the Laws of each jurisdiction where the character of the properties owned, leased or operated by it or the nature of its activities, in each case as they relate exclusively to the
Business, makes such qualification necessary, except for any such failure to be qualified that would not reasonably be expected to result in a Business Material Adverse Effect. The Seller has all
requisite corporate power and authority to own, hold and use the Acquired Assets and to carry on the business in which it is now engaged and to own and use the properties now owned and used by it.

        (b)   The

Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value per share, of which, as of the date of this Agreement, no shares were issued and outstanding. There are no outstanding agreements or commitments to which the Seller is

        2.3    Authority.    The Seller has all requisite corporate power and authority to
execute and deliver this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution and delivery by the Seller of this Agreement and, subject to
obtaining the Requisite Stockholder Approval, which is the only approval required from the Seller's stockholders, the performance by the Seller of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and
the Ancillary Agreements have been validly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Seller. This Agreement has been, and such Ancillary Agreements will be, validly executed and
delivered by the Seller and, assuming this Agreement and each such Ancillary Agreement constitute the valid and binding obligation of the Buyer, constitutes or will constitute a valid and binding
obligation of the Seller, enforceable against the Seller in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization,
moratorium or other similar Laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally and by equitable principles, including those
limiting the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief and other equitable remedies and those providing for equitable defenses. 

        2.4    Noncontravention.    Neither the execution and delivery by the Seller of this
Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, nor the consummation or performance by the Seller of the transactions and obligations contemplated hereby or thereby, will: 

        (a)   conflict

include any manner in which a document or information is furnished, supplied or otherwise made available to the SEC consistent with the applicable requirements of the SEC. 

        (b)   The
Seller has furnished the Buyer with copies of the Financial Statements. The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and the methodologies
described in the footnotes thereto and fairly present, in all material respects, the financial condition and results of operations and cash flows of the Seller as of the respective dates thereof and
for the periods referred to therein in accordance with such methodologies; provided, however, that the unaudited Financial Statements for the current calendar year referred to in clause (b) of
the definition of such term are subject to normal year-end adjustments and do not include footnotes. 

        (c)   The
Seller does not have now, and has never had, any Contract pursuant to which any Person other than a wholesaler of the Products issues or is entitled to issue
chargebacks to the Seller, and, as of the Closing Date, the Seller will have no Liability for any chargebacks made by Persons other than wholesalers. Without limitation of the foregoing, no
distributor of the Products makes or is entitled to make any chargeback against amounts otherwise owed to the Seller, except for chargebacks made by such distributor through a wholesaler which in turn
issues the chargeback to the Seller. 

        (d)   Section 2.5(d)

the Balance Sheet Date and the date of this Agreement, there have not been any changes in the financial condition or results of operations of the Business, except for any changes that would not

believes that the Seller was required to file any Tax Return that was not filed. The Seller has not waived any statute of limitations in respect of Taxes or agreed to an extension of time with respect
to a Tax assessment or deficiency. 

        (d)   The
Seller has not been a member of a group with which it has filed or been included in a combined, consolidated or unitary income Tax Return. 

10

 

        (e)   If
the Seller engages in any transaction described in I.R.S. Notice 2008-20, then the Seller shall provide any information to the Buyer necessary for the
Buyer to comply with its disclosure and reporting requirements under Section 6011 of the Code, and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. 

        2.9    Assets.    

        (a)   Section 2.9(a)

        (c)   The
Acquired Assets are all of the assets required or necessary to conduct the Business in all material respects as currently conducted by the Seller. 

        2.10    Intellectual Property.    

        (a)   Section 2.10(a)
of the Disclosure Schedule sets forth a complete list as of the date of this Agreement of all Patents, Trademarks and Copyright registrations that
are owned by the Seller, or to which Seller has acquired rights from third parties: (i) that are identical to the Patents, Trademarks and Copyright registrations identified on Schedule
1.1(a)(ii); and (ii) constitute all Patents, Trademarks and Copyright registrations that are owned by the seller, or to which seller has acquired rights from third parties that are required or
necessary to conduct the Business as currently conducted or planned to be conducted. The Seller owns, licenses, or otherwise possesses valid rights to use, all Designated Intellectual Property. Except
as set forth in Section 2.10(a) of the Disclosure Schedule under the column captioned "Own Int," the Seller has sole and exclusive, good, marketable and transferable title with respect to the
Designated Intellectual Property, free and clear of any Security Interest; and, except as set forth in Section 2.10(a) of the Disclosure Schedule under the caption "Royalties," no royalties or
other consideration are payable in connection with the Seller's use and enjoyment of the Designated Intellectual Property. To the knowledge of the Seller, the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby does not and will not conflict with or result in the abandonment, cancellation, diminution or unenforceability of any Designated Intellectual Property. All patents and patent
applications listed in Section 2.10(a) of the Disclosure Schedule are subsisting and Seller has not been advised by legal counsel that any of the Patents listed in Section 2.10(a) of the
Disclosure Schedule is invalid or unenforceable. Seller has, with respect to the Patents listed in Section 2.10(a) of the Disclosure Schedule, complied with its duty of candor to the United
States Patent and Trademark Office and patent offices in all jurisdictions outside the United States in which applications for the Patents listed in Section 2.10(a) of the Disclosure Schedule
have been filed or prosecuted. Each license, sublicense or other Contract to which the Seller is a party or by which the Seller is bound under which any rights, title or interest in and/or ownership
of any Designated Intellectual Property, or any prior version thereof, was acquired, is granted by the Seller to another Person, or is granted by another Person to the Seller is a valid and binding
obligation of the Seller and, to the knowledge of the Seller, of each other party thereto. Neither the Seller nor, to the knowledge of the Seller, any other Person, is in breach or violation of, or
default under, any such license, sublicense or other Contract, and no event has occurred, is pending or, to the knowledge of the Seller, is threatened, which, after the giving of notice, with lapse of
time, or otherwise, would constitute a breach or default by the Seller or, to the knowledge of the Seller, any other Person under such license, 

11

 

sublicense
or other Contract. Except for the licenses identified in Section 2.10 (a) of the Disclosure Schedule under the caption "Licenses," the Seller has not granted to any third
party any license or right to the Designated Intellectual Property. 

        (b)   To
the knowledge of the Seller, all Designated Intellectual Property set forth in Section 2.10(a) of the Disclosure Schedule is: (i) valid,
(ii) subsisting (except for the registered trademarks designated as abandoned in Section 2.10(a) of the Disclosure Schedule), and (iii) enforceable (to the extent consisting of an
issued patent or a registered trademark). 

        (c)   The
Designated Intellectual Property has not been obtained through any fraudulent activity or misrepresentation. There are no claims pending or threatened that challenge
the validity or the enforceability of any Designated Intellectual Property. 

        (d)   To
the knowledge of the Seller, no third party has infringed, violated, misappropriated, or diluted or is infringing, violating, misappropriating, or diluting any
Designated Intellectual Property. With respect to the Business, the Seller has not asserted a claim against any Person with respect to ownership or use of any Designated Intellectual Property.

        (j)    The
Seller has taken reasonable steps to protect its rights in material confidential information and trade secrets owned by the Seller or disclosed to the Seller by a

or trade secrets to execute proprietary information, invention assignment and confidentiality agreements, and each consultant and contractor with access to confidential information or trade secrets to
execute confidentiality agreements, as appropriate, substantially consistent with the Seller's standard forms (complete and current copies of which have been delivered or made available to the Buyer).

($150,000) in the aggregate, except in the ordinary course of business or in accordance with the Business' capital expenditure budget included in the Disclosure Schedule; 

20

 

         (v)  acquire
any operating business, whether by merger, stock purchase or asset purchase (except for any such business which will not become part of the Business); 

        (vi)  materially
change its accounting principles, methods or practices insofar as they relate to the Business, except in each case to conform to changes in GAAP; 

       (vii)  enter
into, amend, terminate, take or omit to take any action that would constitute a violation of or default under, or waive any rights under, any Insurance Policy or
Contract of a nature listed or required to be listed in Section 2.11 of the Disclosure Schedule; 

      (viii)  enter
into any Contract with respect to the Business or the Acquired Assets outside the ordinary course of business;

Seller shall permit the representatives of the Buyer listed on Schedule 4.3 to this Agreement to have access (at reasonable times, on reasonable prior written
notice and in a manner so as not to interfere with the normal business operations of the Business) to the premises, properties, financial and accounting records, contracts, and other records and
documents, of or pertaining to the Business. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller shall not be obligated (i) to provide any information, documents or access to any Person unless the Buyer
is responsible, pursuant to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement, for the use and disclosure of any information obtained by such Person from the Seller, or such Person enters into a
confidentiality agreement with the Seller on terms that are substantially the same as those set forth in the Confidentiality Agreement or (ii) to provide any information, documents or access
that would (A) violate the provisions of any applicable Laws (including without limitation those relating to security clearance or export controls) or any confidentiality agreement to which it
is a party or (B) cause the loss of the attorney-client privilege with respect thereto. Prior to the Closing, the Buyer and its representatives shall not contact or communicate with the

its Affiliates to the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement prior to the Closing shall be treated in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement. If this Agreement is terminated prior to the Closing, the
Confidentiality Agreement shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms. If the Closing occurs, the Confidentiality Agreement, insofar as it covers information relating
exclusively or primarily to the Business, shall terminate effective as of the Closing, but shall remain in effect insofar as it covers other information disclosed thereunder. 

        (c)   After
the date hereof, the Seller shall promptly make certificates of analysis relating to the Products (or either of them) available to the Buyer as they become
available to the Seller. 

21

 

        4.4    No Solicitation.    

        (a)   Except
as set forth in this Section 4.4, until the Specified Time, the Seller shall not, and shall use all reasonable efforts to cause its Representatives not to,
directly or indirectly: 

          (i)  solicit,
initiate or knowingly facilitate or encourage any inquiries or the making of any proposal or offer that constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead
to, any Acquisition Proposal; 

         (ii)  enter
into, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any Person any non-public information for the
purpose of encouraging or facilitating, any Acquisition Proposal; or 

        (iii)  grant
any waiver or release under any standstill or similar agreement with respect to Seller's securities. 

        Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, in response to an unsolicited Acquisition Proposal that did not result from a breach of this Section 4.4, and
subject to its compliance with Section 4.4(c), the Seller may (A) furnish information with respect to the Seller to any Person (and the Representatives of such Person) making an
Acquisition Proposal that the Seller's board of directors determines in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel and its financial advisors) is reasonably likely to lead to a Superior
Proposal, pursuant to a customary confidentiality agreement not materially less restrictive of the other party than the Confidentiality Agreement (which need not have standstill provisions),
(B) engage in discussions or negotiations (including solicitation of a revised Acquisition Proposal) with such Person and its Representatives regarding any such Acquisition Proposal, and
(C) amend, or grant a waiver or release under, any standstill or similar agreement with respect to any of Seller's Common Stock, subject to the Seller's board of directors having determined in
good faith, after consultation with outside counsel, that failing to release such third party or waive such provisions would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the
Seller's board of directors under applicable Law. 

        (b)   Prior
to the Specified Time, the Seller's board of directors shall not: 

          (i)  except
as set forth in this Section 4.4, withhold, withdraw or modify, in a manner adverse to the Buyer, the approval or recommendation by the Seller's board of
directors with respect to the Voting Proposal; 

         (ii)  cause
or permit the Seller to enter into any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement, merger agreement or similar
agreement providing for the consummation of a transaction contemplated by any Acquisition Proposal (other than a confidentiality agreement referred to in Section 4.4(a) entered into in the
circumstances referred to in Section 4.4(a)); or 

        (iii)  except
as set forth in this Section 4.4, adopt, approve or recommend any Acquisition Proposal. 

        Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the Seller's board of directors may withhold, withdraw or modify its recommendation with respect to the Voting
Proposal or approve or recommend any Superior Proposal only if the Seller's board of directors determines in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel, that failure to do so would be
inconsistent with its fiduciary obligations under applicable Law. 

        (c)   The
Seller shall promptly advise the Buyer orally, with written confirmation to follow, of the Seller's receipt of any written Acquisition Proposal, the material terms
and conditions of any such Acquisition Proposal and the identity of the Person making any such Acquisition Proposal. Subject to the fiduciary duties of the Seller's board of directors, the Seller
shall keep the Buyer promptly advised of all developments that would reasonably be expected to culminate in the 

22

 

Seller's
board of directors withdrawing, modifying or amending the recommendation of the Seller's board of directors in favor of the Voting Proposal or terminating this Agreement in accordance with
its terms. 

        (d)   Nothing
contained in this Section 4.4 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall be deemed to prohibit the Seller from (i) negotiating or entering any agreement
with respect to a Reverse Merger Transaction or (ii) taking and disclosing to its stockholders a position with respect to a tender offer contemplated by Rule 14d-9 or
Rule 14e-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act or from making any disclosure to the Seller's stockholders if, in the good faith judgment of the Seller's board of directors, after
consultation with outside counsel, failure to so disclose would be inconsistent with its obligations under applicable Law. 

        (e)   The
Seller shall, and shall direct its Representatives to, cease immediately all discussions and negotiations that commenced prior to the date of this Agreement
regarding any proposal that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal. 

        4.5    Disclosure Statement.    

        (a)   As
promptly as practicable, the Seller, at the Seller's expense, and in cooperation with the Buyer shall (i) prepare and file with the SEC the preliminary and
definitive Disclosure Statement; (ii) respond to the comments of the SEC or its staff, if any, on the preliminary Disclosure Statement; and (iii) cause the definitive Disclosure
Statement to be sent or given to its stockholders at the earliest practicable
time after the resolution of any such comments. The Seller shall notify the Buyer promptly upon the receipt of any comments from the SEC or its staff or any other government officials pertaining to
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and of any request by the SEC or its staff or any other government officials for amendments or supplements to the Disclosure Statement or for additional
information and shall promptly supply the Buyer with copies of all correspondence between the Seller or any of its representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC, or its staff or any other government
officials, on the other hand, with respect to the Disclosure Statement. The Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all documents that it is responsible for filing with the SEC or
other regulatory authorities under this Section 4.5 to comply in all material respects with all applicable requirements of Law. Whenever any event occurs which is required to be set forth in an
amendment or supplement to the Disclosure Statement, the Buyer or the Seller, as the case may be, shall promptly inform the other of such occurrence and the Seller, in cooperation with the Buyer,
shall promptly transmit to the SEC or its staff or any other government officials, and/or send or give to its stockholders, such amendment or supplement. The Seller shall (A) consult with the
Buyer on those portions of the Disclosure Statement pertaining to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (B) give the Buyer an opportunity to comment on those portions of the
Disclosure Statement pertaining to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any amendments or supplement thereto and (C) consider in good faith the Buyer's comments with respect
thereto. 

        (b)   The
Seller covenants that the Disclosure Statement (or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto) will: (i) as of the time the Disclosure Statement (or any
amendment thereof or supplement thereto) is first sent or given to the Seller's stockholders and as of the time of the Seller Stockholders' Meeting, not contain any untrue statement of a material fact
or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (provided
that the Seller shall not be responsible for the accuracy or completeness of any information concerning the Buyer furnished by the Buyer in writing for inclusion in the Disclosure Statement); and
(ii) comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the SEC rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. 

23

 

        (c)   The
Buyer shall ensure that any information furnished by the Buyer to the Seller in writing for inclusion in the Disclosure Statement does not contain any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. 

        4.6    Stockholder Meeting.    The Seller, acting through the Seller's board of
directors, shall take all actions in accordance with applicable Law, its Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws and the rules of The NASDAQ Stock Market, as applicable, to promptly and duly call,
give notice of, convene and hold as promptly as practicable the Seller Stockholders' Meeting. Subject to Section 4.4 (other than Section 4.4(d)(i)), the Seller's board of directors shall
recommend adoption of the Voting Proposal by the stockholders of the Seller and include such recommendation in the Disclosure Statement, and the
Seller's board of directors shall not withhold, withdraw or modify, or publicly propose or resolve to withhold, withdraw or modify in a manner adverse to the Buyer, its recommendation that the
Seller's stockholders vote in favor of the Voting Proposal. Subject to Section 4.4 (other than Section 4.4(d)(i)), the Seller shall take all action that is both reasonable and lawful to
solicit from its stockholders proxies in favor of the Voting Proposal and shall take all other action reasonably necessary or advisable to secure the Requisite Stockholder Approval. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Seller, after consultation with the Buyer may adjourn or postpone the meeting of stockholders to the extent necessary to ensure that any
required supplement or amendment to the Disclosure Statement is provided to the Seller's stockholders or, if as of the time for which the meeting of stockholders is originally scheduled (as set forth
in the Disclosure Statement) there are insufficient shares of the Seller's Common Stock represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of such
meeting.

  ARTICLE VI
  INDEMNIFICATION    
    

        6.1    Indemnification by the Seller.    Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Article VI, from and after the Closing, the Seller shall indemnify the Buyer, its Affiliates and its and their Representatives, successors and assigns, from and in respect of, and hold the
Buyer, its Affiliates, and its and their Representatives, successors and assigns, harmless against, all Losses incurred in connection with or suffered by the Buyer, any Affiliate thereof or its or
their Representatives, successors and assigns resulting from or constituting: 

        (a)   any
breach by the Seller of any representation or warranty made by the Seller in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, or any of the representations and warranties
made by the Seller in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement not being true and correct on the Closing Date except for those representations and warranties that address matters as of a particular
date (which shall be true and correct as of such date) treating for these purposes as if the Seller had made its representations and warranties also on the Closing Date); 

        (b)   any
failure by the Seller to perform any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement; and/or 

        (c)   any
Excluded Liabilities. 

        6.2    Indemnification by the Buyer.    Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Article VI, from and after the Closing, the Buyer shall indemnify the Seller, its Affiliates and its and their Representatives, successors and assigns from and in respect of, and hold the
Seller, its Affiliates and its and their Representatives, successors and assigns, harmless against, any and all Losses incurred in connection with or suffered by the Seller, any Affiliate thereof or
its or their Representatives, successors and assigns resulting from or constituting: 

        (a)   any
breach by the Buyer of any representation or warranty made by the Buyer in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement, or any of the representations and warranties
made by the Buyer in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement not being true and correct on the Closing Date except for those representations and warranties that address matters as of a particular
date (which shall be true and correct as of such date) treating for these purposes as if the Buyer had made its representations and warranties also on the Closing Date; 

        (b)   any
failure by the Buyer to perform any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement; and/or 

        (c)   any
Assumed Liabilities. 

        6.3    Claims for Indemnification.    

        (a)    Third-Party Claims.    All claims for indemnification made under this Agreement
resulting from, related to or arising out of a third-party claim against an Indemnified Party shall be made in accordance with the following procedures. An Indemnified Party shall give a prompt
written notification to the Indemnifying Party of the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding relating to a third-party claim for which indemnification may be sought or, if earlier, upon the
assertion of any such claim by a third party. Such notification shall include a description in reasonable detail (to the extent known by the Indemnified Party) of the facts constituting the basis for
such third-party claim and the amount of the Losses claimed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any failure of the Indemnified Party to provide written notification of a claim to the Indemnifying Party in
a timely manner will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article VI, except to the extent that the ability of the Indemnifying Party to defend such claim
is materially prejudiced by the Indemnified Party's failure to give such notification of a claim. 

26

 

Within
thirty (30) days (or such shorter period as required by Law to timely respond to such action) after delivery of such notification, the Indemnifying Party may, upon written notice thereof
to the Indemnified Party, subject to the Indemnifying Party acknowledging in writing its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party hereunder, assume control of the defense of such action, suit,
proceeding or claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume control of such defense, fails to demonstrate to the Indemnified Party
adequate resources to undertake the defense of any such potential Liability or otherwise fails to acknowledge its obligation to indemnify, the Indemnified Party may control such defense at the
Indemnifying Party's cost and expense. The Party not controlling such defense may participate therein at its own expense; provided that if the Indemnifying Party has the right to and assumes control
of such defense and the Indemnified Party reasonably concludes, based on advice from counsel, that the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party have conflicting interests with respect to such
action, suit, proceeding or claim, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party solely in connection therewith shall be considered "Losses" for purposes of this Agreement;
provided, however, that in no event shall the Indemnifying Party be responsible for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel involved in
the matter at the same time for all Indemnified Parties. The Party controlling such defense shall keep the other Party advised of the status of such action, suit, proceeding or claim and the defense
thereof and shall consider recommendations made by the other Party with respect thereto. The Indemnified Party shall not agree to any settlement of such action, suit, proceeding or claim without the
prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Indemnifying Party shall not agree to any settlement of such action,
suit, proceeding or claim that does not include a complete release of the Indemnified Party from all Liability with respect thereto or that imposes any Liability or obligation on the Indemnified Party
without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed if such settlement includes only the payment of money damages
(which are fully paid by the Indemnifying Party). 

        (b)    Procedure for Claims.    An Indemnified Party wishing to assert a claim for
indemnification under this Article VI, which does not constitute a third-party claim, shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party a Claim Notice. Within thirty (30) days after delivery of a
Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party shall deliver to
the Indemnified Party a written response in which the Indemnifying Party shall: (I) agree that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive all of the Claimed Amount (in which case such
response shall be accompanied by a payment by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of the Claimed Amount, by check or by wire transfer), (II) agree that the Indemnified Party is
entitled to receive the Agreed Amount (in which case such response shall be accompanied by a payment by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of the Agreed Amount, by check or by wire
transfer), or (III) contest that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive any of the Claimed Amount. If the Indemnifying Party in such response contests the payment of all or part of the
Claimed Amount, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall use good faith efforts to resolve such dispute. If such dispute is not resolved within thirty (30) days following the
delivery by the Indemnifying Party of such response, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall each have the right to submit such dispute to a court of competent jurisdiction in
accordance with the provisions of Section 11.12. 

        6.4    Survival.    

        (a)   All
representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and other agreements made by any Party to this Agreement and in any Ancillary Agreement will be deemed made on
and as of the Closing as though such representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and other agreements were made on and as of such dates and all representations, warranties, covenants,
indemnities and 

27

 

other
agreements will remain in full force and effect and survive the Closing, subject to the provisions of this Section 6.4. The representations and warranties of the Parties are bargained for
assurances. The representations and warranties of the Seller and the Buyer set forth in this Agreement, the Seller Certificate and the Buyer Certificate shall survive for a period of eighteen
(18) months after the Closing Date; provided, however, that: (i) the representations and warranties of the Seller set forth in Sections 2.1(a), 2.3, 2.9(b), and 2.10(a) shall
survive indefinitely (such sections are referred to individually and collectively as the "Seller Carve Outs"); and (ii) the representations and warranties of the Buyer set forth in
Sections 3.1 and 3.2 shall survive indefinitely ("Buyer Carve Outs"). Each of the covenants set forth in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement, and the indemnification obligations of the
Parties with respect thereto, shall survive the Closing indefinitely. To the extent that there is an overlap in the scope of a representation or warranty subject to a Seller Carve Out and another
representation or warranty of the Seller, the representation or warranty subject to the Seller Carve Out shall survive indefinitely notwithstanding such overlap. 

        (b)   Notwithstanding
the foregoing, any representation or warranty, and the indemnification obligations with respect thereto, that would otherwise terminate in accordance
with Section 6.4(a) shall, if notice of a claim shall have been timely given under this Article VI on or prior to such termination date, continue to survive solely with respect to such
claim, until such claim has been satisfied or otherwise resolved as provided in this Article VI. 

        6.5    Limitations.    

        (a)   Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the following limitations shall apply only to indemnification claims under Sections 6.1(a)
or 6.2(a) of this Agreement subject to Section 6.5(e): 

          (i)  the
aggregate Liability of the Seller shall not exceed an amount equal to fifteen percent (15%) of the Purchase Price; 

         (ii)  the
aggregate Liability of the Buyer shall not exceed an amount equal to fifteen percent (15%) of the Purchase Price; 

        (iii)  the
Seller shall not be obligated to make any indemnification payment under Section 6.1(a) unless the aggregate Losses claimed by the Buyer hereunder with
respect to all Losses under Section 6.1(a) exceed three quarters of one percent (.75%) of the Purchase Price (the "Basket"), at which point the Seller shall become
liable for the aggregate Losses under Section 6.1(a) in excess of the Basket; it being understood that for the purpose of determining the amount of any Losses (but not the existence of any
breach of any representation or warranty) any qualification in any representation or warranty with regard to, "materiality" or "Business Material Adverse Effect" shall be disregarded; and 

        (iv)  the
Buyer shall not be obligated to make any indemnification payment under Section 6.2(a) unless the aggregate Losses claimed by the Seller hereunder with
respect to all Losses under Section 6.2(a) exceed the Basket, at which point the Buyer shall become liable for the aggregate Losses under Section 6.2(a) in excess of the Basket; it being
understood that for the purpose of determining the amount of any Losses (but not the existence of any breach of any representation or warranty) any qualification in any representation or warranty with
regard to "materiality" or "Buyer Material Adverse Effect" shall be disregarded. 

        (b)   In
no event shall any Indemnifying Party be responsible or liable for any Losses or other amounts under this Article VI that are consequential, in the nature of
lost profits, diminution in the value of property, special or punitive or otherwise not actual damages, except the foregoing shall not apply to any Losses relating to: (i) any third-party
claims, including, without limitation, any Loss by a Party constituting a third party claim; or (ii) title to or claims against the Acquired 

28

 

Assets
including, without limitation, any infringement of, or invalidity or unenforceability of, any rights, interests or privileges regarding the Designated Intellectual Property. 

        (c)   The
amount of Losses recoverable by an Indemnified Party under this Article VI with respect to an indemnity claim shall be reduced by (i) the amount of any
payment received by such Indemnified Party
(or an Affiliate thereof), with respect to the Losses to which such indemnity claim relates, from an insurance carrier, and (ii) the amount of any Tax benefit realized by such Indemnified Party
(or an Affiliate thereof) which is attributable to the Losses to which such indemnity claim relates (calculated by comparing the Tax liabilities of the Indemnified Party with and without such tax
benefit and giving credit hereunder for a reduction in the indemnification payments due to the extent that the Indemnified Party's Tax liability is shown by such comparison to be reduced by inclusion
of the tax benefit). An Indemnified Party shall use reasonable commercial efforts to pursue, and to cause its Affiliates to pursue, all insurance claims and Tax benefits to which it may be entitled in
connection with any Losses it incurs, and the Parties shall cooperate with each other in pursuing insurance claims with respect to any Losses or any indemnification obligations with respect to Losses.
If an Indemnified Party (or an Affiliate) receives any insurance payment in connection with any claim for Losses for which it has already received an indemnification payment from the Indemnifying
Party, it shall pay to the Indemnifying Party, within 30 days of receiving such insurance payment, an amount equal to the excess of (A) the amount previously received by the Indemnified
Party under this Article VI with respect to such claim plus the amount of the insurance payments received, over (B) the amount of Losses with respect to such claim which the Indemnified
Party has become entitled to receive under this Article VI. 

        (d)   Except
with respect to claims for fraud, intentional misrepresentation or equitable relief, including specific performance, with respect to breaches of any covenant or

 ARTICLE XI

MISCELLANEOUS  

        11.1    Press Releases and Announcements.    Immediately after the execution and delivery
of this Agreement, the Parties will issue a joint press release announcing the execution and delivery of this Agreement, substantially in the form previously delivered to each other. Neither Party
shall issue (and each Party shall cause its Affiliates not to issue) any other press release or public disclosure relating to the subject matter of this Agreement without the prior written approval of
the other Party; provided, however, that either Party may make any public disclosure it believes in good faith is required by Law or stock
exchange rule (in which case the disclosing Party shall advise the other Party and the other Party shall, if practicable, have the right to review such press release or announcement prior to its
publication). 

        11.2    No Third Party Beneficiaries.    This Agreement shall not confer any rights or
remedies upon any Person other than the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns and, to the extent specified herein, their respective Affiliates. 

        11.3    Action to be Taken by Affiliates.    The Parties shall cause their respective
Affiliates to comply with all of the obligations specified in this Agreement to be performed by such Affiliates. 

        11.4    Entire Agreement.    This Agreement (including the documents referred to herein)
and the Confidentiality Agreement constitute the entire agreement among the Buyer, on the one hand, and the Seller, on the other hand. This Agreement supersedes any prior agreements or understandings
among 

47

 

the
Buyer, on the one hand, and the Seller, on the other hand, and any representations or statements made by or on behalf of the Seller or any of its Affiliates to the Buyer, whether written or oral,
with respect to the subject matter hereof, other than the Confidentiality Agreement, and the Parties hereto specifically disclaim reliance on any such prior representations or statements to the extend
not embodied in this Agreement. The Confidentiality Agreement, insofar as it covers information relating exclusively or primarily to the Business, shall terminate effective as of the Closing, but
shall remain in effect insofar as it covers other information disclosed thereunder. 

        11.5    Succession and Assignment.    No Party may assign either this Agreement or any of
its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder without the prior written approval of the Seller (in the case of an assignment by the Buyer) or the Buyer (in the case of an assignment by the Seller),
which written approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement, and all rights, interests and obligations hereunder or under the
Ancillary Agreements, may be assigned, without such consent, to any entity that acquires all or substantially all of a Party's business or assets or may be collaterally assigned by the Buyer to any
lender or other Person providing financing or funding to the Buyer provided that such collateral assignment shall not release the Buyer from its obligations under this Agreement or any Ancillary
Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. 

        11.6    Notices.    All notices, requests, demands, claims and other communications

        11.7    Amendments and Waivers.    The Parties may mutually amend or waive any provision
of this Agreement at any time. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be valid unless the same shall be in writing and signed by all of the Parties. No waiver by any Party of
any 

48

 

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
warranty or covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising by virtue of any prior or subsequent such occurrence. 

        11.8    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 body 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. 

        11.9    Expenses.    Except as otherwise specifically provided to the contrary in this
Agreement, each of the Parties shall bear its own costs and expenses (including legal fees and expenses) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. 

        11.10    Specific Performance.    Each Party acknowledges and agrees that the other Party
would be damaged irreparably in the event any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise are breached. Accordingly, each Party agrees
that the other Party may be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically this Agreement and the terms and provisions
hereof in any action instituted in any court of the United States or any state thereof having jurisdiction over the Parties and the matter. 

        11.11    Governing Law.    This Agreement and any disputes hereunder shall be governed by
and construed in accordance with the internal Laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice or conflict of Law (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that
would cause the application of Laws of any jurisdiction other than those of the State of Delaware. 

        11.12    Submission to Jurisdiction.    Each Party (a) submits to the exclusive
jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in the State of Delaware in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, (b) agrees that all claims in respect of
such action or proceeding may be heard and determined only in any such court, (c) waives any claim of inconvenient forum or other challenge to venue in such court, and (d) agrees not to
bring any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any other court. Each Party agrees to accept service of any summons, complaint or other initial pleading made in the
manner provided for the giving of notices in Section 11.6. Nothing in this Section 11.12 however, shall affect the right of any Party to serve such summons, complaint or initial pleading
in any other manner permitted by Law. 

        11.13    Bulk Transfer Laws.    The Buyer acknowledges that the Seller will not comply
with the provisions of the bulk transfer Laws of any jurisdiction in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, but this shall not affect the obligation of the Seller for any
Liabilities relating to the period prior to the Closing Date. 

        11.14    Construction.    

        (a)   The
language used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the Parties to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction shall be
applied against either Party. 

49

 

        (b)   Any
reference to any Law shall be deemed also to refer to all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise. 

        (c)   The
section headings contained in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. 

        (d)   Any
reference herein to an Article, section or clause shall be deemed to refer to an Article, section or clause of this Agreement, unless the context clearly indicates
otherwise. 

        (e)   All
references to "$", "Dollars" or "US$" refer to currency of the United States of America. 

        11.15    Waiver of Jury Trial.    To the extent permitted by applicable Law, each Party
hereby irrevocably waives all rights to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim (whether based on contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the
transactions contemplated hereby or the actions of the other Party in the negotiation, administration, performance and enforcement of this Agreement. 

        11.16    Incorporation of Exhibits and Schedules.    The Exhibits and Schedules
identified in this Agreement are incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof.
