Executive hereby for himself, and his heirs, agents, executors, successors,

remises, and discharges, in all their capacities, the Company and all of its
affiliates or subsidiaries, and any of their present or former directors,
employees, fiduciaries, representatives, officers and agents, successors and
assigns (collectively, the "Releasees") individually and in their official
capacities, of and from all covenants, obligations, liabilities and agreements,
and forever waives all claims, rights and causes of action whatsoever, in law or
in equity, whether known or unknown, asserted or unasserted, suspected or
unsuspected, that the Executive or any Related Parties ever had, may have in the
future or have now in connection with or arising from the Executive's employment
relationship with the Company or termination of the Executive's employment
relationship with the Company; including, without limitation, any claims, rights
and causes of action under United States federal, state or local law, regulation
or decision, and the national or local law (statutory or decisional) of any
foreign country, including, without limitation, those under the Age

Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), the
Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, the Fair Labor Standards Act, and any
other similar or related law, regulation or decision relating to or dealing with

action for punitive damages, attorney's fees, expenses and costs of litigation.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive and Related Parties do not release
or waive any right or claim (i) the Executive and Related Parties may have to
obtain post-employment payments and benefits and exercise any rights pursuant to
the Employment Agreement or award thereunder (including, but not limited to,
Paragraph 5(e) thereof and to the payments set forth in Exhibit A hereto in
satisfaction of the Company's obligation under Paragraph 5(e)(ii) thereof); (ii)
to obtain post-employment payments and benefits and exercise any rights under
any plan or agreement referred to in the Employment Agreement or award
thereunder (including, but not limited to, the EICP, the ICP, the SRP, the
Benefit Plans, the SIP, the Change of Control Agreement, and the Retiree Medical
Plan (all as defined in the Employment Agreement)); (iii) under ERISA to obtain
post-employment payments and benefits under any employee benefit plan (as
defined in ERISA); (iv) for indemnification under any agreement with or policy
of the Company or its affiliates relating to indemnification of directors or
officers or under any provision of the Company's articles or by-laws relating to
indemnification of directors or officers; (v) under any policy of directors' or
officers' liability insurance; (vi) that arises against the Company after the
date of this Waiver and Release; and (vii) to obtain contribution as permitted
by law in the event of entry of judgment against the Executive and the Company
as a result of any act or failure to act for which the Executive and the Company
are jointly liable.

        2.  The Executive represents that he has not filed, and will not
hereafter file, any claim against the Company relating to his employment and/or
cessation of employment with the Company, or otherwise involving facts that
occurred on or prior to the date that Executive has signed this Waiver and
Release except as permitted under paragraph 1 hereof.

                                       -2-

        3.  The Executive understands and agrees that if Executive commences,
continues, joins in, or in any other manner attempts to assert any claim
released herein against the Company, or otherwise violates the terms of this
Waiver and Release, (i) the Executive will cease to have any further rights to
the Benefits from the Company referred to in the first paragraph of this Waiver
and Release and (ii) the Executive shall be required to return any payments made
to the Executive by the Company pursuant to Paragraph 5(e) of the Employment
Agreement (together with interest thereon).

        4.  In consideration for the Executive's release and waiver of claims
herein and other good and valuable consideration, the Company, on behalf of
itself and the Releasees, forever releases, remises and discharges, in all their
capacities, the Executive and the Related Parties, individually and in their
official capacities, of and from all covenants, obligations, liabilities and
agreements, and forever waives all claims, rights and causes of action
whatsoever, in law or in equity, whether known or unknown, asserted or
unasserted, suspected or unsuspected, that the Company or any of the Releasees
ever had, may have in the future or have now in connection with or arising from
the Executive's employment relationship with the Company or termination of the
Executive's employment relationship with the Company; including, without
limitation, any claims, rights and causes of action under United States federal,
state or local law, regulation or decision, and the national or local law
(statutory or decisional) of any foreign country. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Company and the Releasees do not release or waive (i) any right or claim
that arises against the Executive after the date of this Waiver and Release,
(ii) any claim against the Executive based on intentional misconduct, fraud,
misappropriation or gross neglect or (iii) any right the Company and the
Releasees may have to obtain contribution as permitted by law in the event of
entry of judgment against the Executive and the Company as a result of any act
or failure to act for which the Executive and the Company are jointly liable.

                                       -3-

<PAGE>

        5.  The Executive understands and agrees that the payments by the
Company to the Executive and the signing of this Waiver and Release by the
Executive do not in any way indicate that the Executive has any viable claims
against the Company or that the Company admits any liability to the Executive
whatsoever.

        6.  The Executive affirms that, prior to the execution of this Waiver
and Release, the Executive was advised by an attorney of the Executive's choice
concerning the terms and conditions set forth herein, and that the Executive was
given up to twenty-one (21) days to consider (notwithstanding the time lapsed,
if any, during such twenty-one day period to review and revise) this Waiver and
Release and its consequences. The Executive has seven (7) days following the
Executive's signing of this Waiver and Release to revoke and cancel the terms
and conditions contained herein, and the terms and conditions of this Waiver and
Release shall not become effective or enforceable until such revocation period
has expired.

                                       -4-

ARTICLE V

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SELLER

Each Seller hereby, jointly and severally, represents and warrants to Purchaser that:

5.1 Organization and Good Standing.

Seller is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws
of the State of Delaware and has all requisite corporate power and authority to own, lease and
operate its properties and to carry on its business as now conducted. Seller is duly qualified or
authorized to do business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing under the laws of each
jurisdiction in which it owns or leases real property and each other jurisdiction in which the
conduct of its business or the ownership of its properties requires such qualification or
authorization, except where the failure to be so qualified, authorized or in good standing would
not have a Material Adverse Effect. Seller has delivered to Purchaser true, complete and correct
copies of its certificate of incorporation and by-laws or comparable organizational documents as in
effect on the date hereof.

5.2 Authorization of Agreement. Subject to obtaining Bankruptcy Court approval
pursuant to the Sale Order, Seller has all requisite power, authority and legal capacity to execute
and deliver this Agreement and Seller has all requisite power, authority and legal capacity to
execute and deliver each other agreement, document, or instrument or certificate contemplated by
this Agreement or to be executed by Seller in connection with the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement (the “Seller Documents”), to perform its obligations
hereunder and thereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.
Subject to obtaining Bankruptcy Court approval pursuant to the Sale Order, the execution and
delivery of this Agreement and the Seller Documents and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action on the
part of Seller. This Agreement has been, and each of the Seller Documents will be at or prior to
the Closing, duly and validly executed and delivered by Seller and (assuming the due authorization,
execution and delivery by the other parties hereto and thereto) following the approval of this
Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby by the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to the Sale
Order, this Agreement, constitutes, and each of the Seller Documents when so executed and delivered
will constitute, legal, valid and binding obligations of Seller, enforceable against Seller in
accordance with their respective terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally, and
subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity, including principles of commercial
reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a
proceeding at law or in equity).

5.3 Board Approval and Recommendation. The Board of Directors of Seller has (i)
determined that this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the purchase of
the Purchased Assets by Purchaser, are advisable, fair to and in the best interests of those
Persons to whom the directors owe fiduciary duties under applicable law, (ii) determined that an
immediate sale of the Purchased Assets pursuant to Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code is necessary
and urgent as the value of the Purchased Assets, and, therefore, the value ultimately available to
the creditors and equityholders of Seller, is rapidly deteriorating, and (iii) approved this
Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

5.4 Conflicts; Consents of Third Parties.

(a) Except as a result of the Chapter 11 Case, none of the execution and delivery by Seller of
this Agreement or by Seller of the Seller Documents, the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby, or compliance by Seller with any of the provisions hereof or
thereof will conflict with, or result in any violation of or default (with or without notice or
lapse of time, or both) under, or give rise to a right of termination, cancellation or acceleration
of any obligation or to loss of a material benefit under, or give rise to any obligation of Seller
to make any payment under, or to the increased, additional, accelerated or guaranteed rights or
entitlements of any Person under, or result in the creation of any Liens upon any of the properties
or assets of Seller under any provision of (i) the certificate of incorporation and by-laws or
comparable organizational documents of Seller; (ii) subject to entry of the Sale Order, any
Purchased Contract or Permit to which Seller is a party or by which any of the properties or assets
of Seller are bound; (iii) subject to entry of the Sale Order, any Order of any court, Governmental
Body or arbitrator applicable to Seller or any of the properties or assets of Seller as of the date

Bidding Procedures Order and entry of the Sale Order, no consent, waiver, approval, Order, Permit
or authorization of, or declaration or filing with, or notification to, any Person or Governmental
Body is required on the part of Seller (i) in connection with the execution and delivery of this
Agreement or the Seller Documents, the compliance by Seller with any of the provisions hereof or

other action contemplated hereby, or (ii) the continuing validity and effectiveness immediately
following the Closing of any Contract or Permit of Seller.

5.5 Financial Statements; Projections.

are recorded as necessary to permit the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP
and to maintain accountability for assets; (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance

assumptions and judgments, at the time provided to Purchaser, as to the future financial

business.

based on their most recent evaluation, to Seller’s auditors and the audit committee of the Board of

controls which could adversely affect Seller’s ability to record, process, summarize and report
financial data and have identified for Seller’s auditors any material weaknesses in internal
controls and (ii) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees
who have a significant role in Seller’s internal controls.

(e) Seller has established and maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is
defined in Rule 13a-14 under the Exchange Act); such disclosure controls and procedures are
designed to ensure that material information relating to Seller is made known to Seller’s principal
executive officer and its principal financial officer.

5.6 Inventories. With the exception of the Inventory reflected in the Financial
Statement as being obsolete, excess, damaged or otherwise unusable Inventory, the Inventory of
Seller is in good and marketable condition, and is saleable in the Ordinary Course of Business.
The Inventory of Seller set forth in the Financial Statement was properly stated therein in
accordance with GAAP consistently applied. Adequate reserves have been reflected in the Financial
Statement for obsolete, excess, damaged or otherwise unusable Inventory, which reserves were
calculated in a manner consistent with past practice and in accordance with GAAP consistently
applied. The Inventory of Seller constitutes sufficient quantities for the normal operation of

event, change, occurrence or circumstance that has had or could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, since the Financial

respects; and (ii) all material Taxes payable by or on behalf of Seller or any affiliated group of
which Seller is or was a member have been fully and timely paid.

Property has been issued or registered or in which any such application for such issuance and
registration has been filed.

(b) Except as disclosed in Schedule 5.10(b), Seller is the sole and exclusive owner of
all right, title and interest in and to all of the Intellectual Property required to be set forth

proposed business practices and methods of Seller do not constitute an infringement, unauthorized
use, misappropriation or other violation of any Intellectual Property of any Person (including
pursuant to any non-disclosure agreements or obligations to which Seller or any of their present or
former employees is a party). The Purchased Intellectual Property includes all of the Intellectual
Property necessary and sufficient to enable Seller to conduct its business in the manner in which
such business is currently being conducted and, as currently proposed to be conducted.

creditors’ rights and remedies generally and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles
of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity). Seller
is not in default under any Intellectual Property License, nor, to the Knowledge of Seller, is any

claim or challenge. The Purchased Intellectual Property and all of Seller’s rights in and to
Purchased Intellectual Property are valid and enforceable.

the rights to use any of the Purchased Intellectual Property or Purchased Technology.

impairment of Purchaser’s right to own or use any of the Purchased Intellectual Property or
Purchased Technology.

Seller and, to the Knowledge of Seller, the other parties thereto, and is legally enforceable
against Seller and, to the Knowledge of Seller, the other parties thereto, in accordance with its
terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
moratorium, reorganization, or similar laws from time to time in effect which affect the
enforcement of creditors’ rights generally. Except as disclosed in Schedule 5.11, Seller
is not in material breach or default under any Purchased Contract and, to the Knowledge of Seller,

with respect to their business activities on behalf of Seller), or to which Seller is otherwise a
party, which, if adversely determined, would have a Material Adverse Effect, before any
Governmental Body; nor to the Knowledge of Seller is there any reasonable basis for any such
action, proceeding, or investigation. Other than the Chapter 11 Case, Seller is not subject to any

have a Material Adverse Effect and Seller is not engaged in any legal action to recover monies due
it or for damages sustained by it.

(b) Each Purchased Contract, agreement, or arrangement between Seller on the one hand, and any
Affiliate of Seller or any officer, director or employee of Seller on the other hand, is on

included a warranty for a period of longer than one (1) year.

(b) Seller has not committed any act or failed to commit any act, which would result in, and

7.2 Bidding Procedures. This Agreement is subject to approval by the Bankruptcy Court
and the consideration by Seller of higher or better competing bids (each an “Alternative
Transaction”). Prior to seeking approval of the sale of the Purchased Assets, Seller shall
seek the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of the Bidding Procedures Order, which shall include the
following procedures and overbid protections for the submission and consideration of qualified
bids, along with such other bidding procedures as agreed to by Seller and Purchaser:

(a) In order for any Alternative Transaction to be a qualified bid (each a “Qualified
Bid”), it must be:

(i) in writing;

(ii) received by Purchaser and Seller at their respective addresses set forth in
Section 13.7 no later than the deadline for submitting an Alternative Transaction
established by the Bidding Procedures Order (the “Bid Deadline”);

(iii) a firm, unconditional bid to purchase the Purchased Assets, not subject to any
contingencies as to the validity, effectiveness and/or binding nature of the offer,
including, without limitation, further due diligence review or financing;

(iv) a firm bid of at least $200,000 over the Purchase Price;

(v) accompanied by sufficient information to demonstrate that the competing bidder has
the financial wherewithal and ability to timely consummate the acquisition of the Purchased
Assets on terms and conditions substantially the same as this Agreement, including evidence
of adequate financing and a financial guaranty, if appropriate;

(vi) accompanied by a signed contract substantially in the form of this Agreement, and
marked to show any changes made to this Agreement; and

(vii) accompanied by a good faith cash deposit in an amount equal to the $150,000 to
be deposited with Seller on or before the Bid Deadline;

(b) Seller shall promptly inform Purchaser of all Qualified Bids and any information received
related to the terms and conditions of such Qualified Bids;

(c) Purchaser shall have the opportunity to increase its offer to a level at least $50,000 in
excess of any Qualified Bid to be eligible to become the starting bid at the auction (the
“Auction”) contemplated by the Bidding Procedures Order (“Starting Auction Bid”);
and, in connection therewith, Purchaser shall be entitled to credit the Breakup Fee and Expense
Reimbursement against the purchase price reflected in such Qualified Bid, provided that
Purchaser delivers a statement to Seller that the actual amount of its expenses that Purchaser
reasonably expects to incur in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby are equal to or
greater than the amount of Expense Reimbursement that Purchaser seeks to have credited against the
purchase price reflected in such bid of Purchaser;

(d) Seller shall evaluate all Qualified Bids received and shall determine which Qualified Bid
reflects the highest or best offer as the Starting Auction Bid for the Purchased Assets. Seller
shall announce its determination of the Starting Auction Bid at the commencement of the Auction;

(e) the first incremental competitive bid at the Auction shall be at least $100,000 over the
Starting Auction Bid, with any subsequent increases of bids to be made in increments equal to as
least $100,000;

(f) no bids shall be considered by Purchaser unless a party submitted a Qualified Bid and
participates in the Auction;

(g) all of the Purchased Assets shall be sold in a single lot;

(h) if Seller desires to select a bid from an entity other than Purchaser that Purchaser
believes is not the highest or best bid, the Bankruptcy Court shall determine which is the
successful bidder;

(i) when determining the highest or best bid, Seller shall include the Break-Up Fee and the
Expense Reimbursement in Purchaser’s last bid, which Break-Up Fee and Expense Reimbursement would
otherwise be payable to Purchaser;

(j) the payment of the Break-Up Fee and the Expense Reimbursement to Purchaser in accordance
with Section 7.1;

(k) if any overbid from an entity other than Purchaser is accepted but fails to be
consummated, Seller shall be obligated to consummate the transaction with Purchaser, at Purchaser’s
option, on the terms of this Agreement, except for the purchase price, which shall equal the
purchase price of the next highest bid that was submitted to Seller during the Auction;

(l) In the event that Seller determines in good faith that it has not received a Qualified Bid
by the Bid Deadline that is a higher or better bid than the one represented by this Agreement,
Seller shall seek approval of this Agreement at the Approval Hearing without conducting an Auction
and without further motion; and

(m) such other terms as the Bankruptcy Court deems necessary and are reasonably acceptable to
Purchaser.

7.3 Non-Solicitation Period.

(a) From the time of Seller’s and Purchaser’s execution and delivery of this Agreement until
the Bankruptcy Court’s entry of the Bidding Procedures Order (the “Non-Solicitation
Period”), Seller shall not, nor shall it authorize or permit any Subsidiary of Seller to, nor
shall it authorize or permit any officer, director, manager or employee of, or any investment
banker, attorney or other advisor, agent or representative of, Seller or any of its Subsidiaries
(collectively, “Seller Representatives”) to solicit or otherwise proactively encourage any
entity with respect to the submission of an Alternative Transaction or negotiate the terms of an
Alternative Transaction; provided, however, that during the Non-Solicitation Period
so long as Seller is not otherwise in breach of this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall
prohibit Seller or Seller Representatives from entering into confidentiality agreements with any
entity or furnishing to any entity any information relating to the Purchased Assets with respect to
any proposal or expression of interest that constitutes, or which may lead to, a Qualified Bid; and
provided, further, however, that Seller shall not execute any Alternative
Transaction prior to the Bankruptcy Court’s entry of the Bidding Procedures Order. In the event
Seller receives an Alternative Transaction during the Non-Solicitation Period, Seller shall as
promptly as practicable (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours after receipt) advise
Purchaser in writing of the details of such Alternative Transaction and the identity of the entity
submitting the Alternative Transaction and, to the extent known by the Seller, the principals who
are backing such entity.

(b) Following entry of the Bidding Procedures Order until the Bid Deadline, Seller and Seller
Representatives shall not be subject to any restrictions with respect to the solicitation or
encouragement of any entity concerning the potential or actual submission of a Qualified Bid;
provided, however, that within twenty four (24) hours after Seller’s receipt of any
offer for an Alternative Transaction, Seller must deliver to Purchaser by facsimile transmission or
send by courier service for delivery to Purchaser by the morning of the next business day true and
complete copies of any such Alternative Transaction.

7.4 The Sale Order. Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the
Bankruptcy Court to enter a Sale Order which contains, among other provisions requested by
Purchaser, the following provisions (it being understood that certain of such provisions may be
contained in either the findings of fact or conclusions of law to be made by the Bankruptcy Court
as part of the Sale Order):

and effective transfers of the Purchased Assets; (B) vest or will vest Purchaser with all right,
title and interest of such Seller to the Purchased Assets free and clear of all Liens and claims
pursuant to Section 363(f) of the Bankruptcy Code (other than Liens created by Purchaser); and (C)

non-bankruptcy laws;

(b) all amounts to be paid to Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement constitute administrative

Bankruptcy Court;

(c) all Persons are enjoined from taking any actions against Purchaser or any Affiliates of
Purchaser (as they existed immediately prior to the Closing) to recover any claim which such Person
has solely against a Seller or its Affiliates;

Agreement shall be exempt from stamp, sales, use, transfer and certain other taxes, the so-called

Code, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are undertaken by Purchaser and Seller at
arm’s length, without collusion and in good faith within the meaning of Section 363(m) of the
Bankruptcy Code, and such parties are entitled to the protections of Section 363(m) of the
Bankruptcy Code;

(i) all Purchased Contracts shall be assumed by Seller and assigned to Purchaser pursuant to
Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code and, as required by this Agreement, Seller shall be obligated to
pay all Cure Amounts in respect thereof;

(j) the Bankruptcy Court retains exclusive jurisdiction to interpret and enforce the
provisions of this Agreement, the Bidding Procedures Order and the Sale Order in all respects;
provided, however, that in the event the Bankruptcy Court abstains from exercising
or declines to exercise jurisdiction with respect to any matter provided for in this clause or is
without jurisdiction, such abstention, refusal or lack of jurisdiction shall have no effect upon
and shall not control, prohibit or limit the exercise of jurisdiction of any other court having
competent jurisdiction with respect to any such matter; and

(k) such other provisions as Purchaser may agree to.

7.5 Bankruptcy Court Approval.

(a) As promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement, but in no event later than

satisfactory to Purchaser, the Sale Motion. At least 15 days prior to the hearing approving the
Sales Order, Seller shall serve a copy of the Sale Motion (along with a copy at the proposed Sale
Order and the Bidding Procedures Order) on each jurisdiction where the Purchased Assets are subject
to Tax.

(b) Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain entry of the Sale Order no

reasonable request concerning the status of such proceedings and providing Purchaser with copies of
requested pleadings, notices, proposed orders and other documents relating to such proceedings as

further covenants and agrees that the terms of any plan it submits to the Bankruptcy Court for
confirmation shall not conflict with, supersede, abrogate, nullify or restrict the terms of this
Agreement, or in any way prevent or interfere with the consummation or performance of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation, any transaction
contemplated by or approved pursuant to the Sale Order or the Bidding Procedures Order.

7.6 Bankruptcy Court Objections. In furtherance and not in limitation of the
covenants of the parties contained in this Article VII, each of the parties hereto shall use its
commercially reasonable efforts to resolve objections, if any, as may be asserted or raised by the
Bankruptcy Court, any party in interest to the Chapter 11 Case, a Governmental Body or other Person
with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(a) For a period from the date hereof until the third (3rd) anniversary of the

manage, operate, control or participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of any
business, whether in corporate, proprietorship or partnership form or otherwise, engaged in
Seller’s business as of the date hereof and during the preceding twelve (12) months, including the
production and sale of PowerPC and FPGA based single board computer products (a “Restricted
Business”); provided, however, that the restrictions contained in this
Section 8.5(a) shall not restrict the acquisition by Seller, directly or indirectly, of
less than 2% of the outstanding capital stock of any publicly traded company engaged in a
Restricted Business. The parties hereto specifically acknowledge and agree that the remedy at law
for any breach of the foregoing will be inadequate and that Purchaser, in addition to any other
relief available to it, shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief without the
necessity of proving actual damage or posting any bond whatsoever.

(b) For a period from the date hereof to the third (3rd) anniversary of the Closing
Date, Seller shall not and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to: (i) cause, solicit, induce or
encourage any employees of Seller who are or become employees of Purchaser or its Affiliates to
leave such employment or hire, employ or otherwise engage any such individual; or (ii) cause,
induce or encourage any material actual or prospective client, customer, supplier, or licensor of
Seller’s business (including any existing or former customer of Seller and any Person that becomes
a client or customer of Seller’s business after the Closing) or any other Person who has a material
business relationship with Seller’s business, to terminate or modify any such actual or prospective
relationship.

(c) From and after the date hereof, Seller shall not and shall cause its Subsidiaries and
their respective officers, and directors not to, directly or indirectly, disclose, reveal, divulge
or communicate to any Person other than authorized officers, directors and employees of Purchaser
or use or otherwise exploit for its own benefit or for the benefit of anyone other than Purchaser,
any Confidential Information (as defined below). Seller and its officers, directors and
Subsidiaries shall not have any obligation to keep confidential any Confidential Information if and
to the extent disclosure thereof is specifically required by law; provided,
however, that in the event disclosure is required by applicable Law, Seller shall, to the
extent reasonably possible, provide Purchaser with prompt notice of such requirement prior to
making any disclosure so that Purchaser may seek an appropriate protective order. For purposes of
this Section 8.5(c), “Confidential Information” shall mean any confidential
information with respect to Seller’s business, including, methods of operation, customers, customer
lists, Products, prices, fees, costs, Technology, inventions, Trade Secrets, know-how, Software,
marketing methods, plans, personnel, suppliers, competitors, markets or other specialized
information or proprietary matters. “Confidential Information” does not include, and there
shall be no obligation hereunder with respect to, information that (i) is generally available to
the public on the date of this Agreement or (ii) becomes generally available to the public other
than as a result of a disclosure not otherwise permissible thereunder. This Section 8.5
shall not in any way limit the disclosure of information (x) by Seller in connection with the and
prosecution of the Chapter 11 Case or (y) regarding Seller to other bidders or potential bidders to
the extent specifically permitted by this Agreement.

(d) The covenants and undertakings contained in this Section 8.5 relate to matters
which are of a special, unique and extraordinary character and a violation of any of the terms of
this Section 8.5 will cause irreparable injury to the parties, the amount of which will be
impossible to estimate or determine and which cannot be adequately compensated. Therefore,
Purchaser will be entitled to an injunction, restraining order or other equitable relief from any
court of competent jurisdiction in the event of any breach of this Section 8.5. The rights
and remedies provided by this Section 8.5 are cumulative and in addition to any other
rights and remedies which Purchaser may have hereunder or at law or in equity. In the event that
Purchaser were to seek damages for any breach of this Section 8.5, the portion of the
Purchase Price which is allocated by the parties to the foregoing covenant shall not be considered
a measure of or limit on such damages.

(e) The parties hereto agree that, if any court of competent jurisdiction in a final
nonappealable judgment determines that a specified time period, a specified geographical area, a
specified business limitation or any other relevant feature of this Section 8.5 is
unreasonable, arbitrary or against public policy, then a lesser time period, geographical area,
business limitation or other relevant feature which is determined to be reasonable, not arbitrary
and not against public policy may be enforced against the applicable party.

8.6 Preservation of Records. Seller and Purchaser agree that each of them shall
preserve and keep the records held by it, Seller’s Subsidiaries or Purchaser’s Affiliates relating
to Seller’s business for a period of seven (7) years from the Closing Date and shall make such
records and personnel available to the other as may be reasonably required by such party in
connection with, among other things, any insurance claims by, legal proceedings against or
governmental investigations of Seller or Purchaser or any of their Affiliates or in order to enable
Seller or Purchaser to comply with their respective obligations under this Agreement and each other
agreement, document or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby. In the event Seller or Purchaser
wishes to destroy such records before or after that time, such party shall first give ninety (90)
days prior written notice to the other and such other party shall have the right at its option and
expense, upon prior written notice given to such party within such ninety (90) day period, to take
possession of the records within one hundred and eighty (180) days after the date of such notice.

8.7 Publicity. Neither Seller nor Purchaser shall issue any press release or public
announcement concerning this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without obtaining
the prior written approval of the other party hereto, which approval will not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed, unless, in the sole judgment of Purchaser or Seller, disclosure is otherwise
required by applicable Law or by the Bankruptcy Court with respect to filings to be made with the
Bankruptcy Court in connection with this Agreement or by the applicable rules of any stock exchange
on which Purchaser or Seller lists securities, provided that the party intending to make
such release shall use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with such applicable Law or
Bankruptcy Court requirement to consult with the other party with respect to the text thereof.

8.8 Use of Name. Seller hereby agrees that upon the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby, Purchaser shall have the sole right to the use of the name “DNA Computing
Solutions” or similar names or any service marks, trademarks, trade names, identifying symbols,
logos, emblems or signs containing or comprising the foregoing, including any name or mark
confusingly similar thereto (collectively, the “Seller Marks”) and Seller shall not, and
shall not permit any Subsidiary to, use such name or any variation or simulation thereof. In
furtherance thereof, as promptly as practicable but in no event later than thirty (30) days
following the Closing Date, Seller shall remove, strike over or otherwise obliterate all Seller
Marks from all materials owned by Seller and used or displayed publicly including, without
limitation, any sales and marketing materials, displays, signs, promotional materials and other
materials.

Employees at any time, with or without cause, and to change the terms and conditions of their

effect any Order by a Governmental Body of competent jurisdiction restraining, enjoining or
otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby;

(b) the Bankruptcy Court shall have entered the Bidding Procedures Order; and

(c) the Bankruptcy Court shall have entered the Sale Order and any stay period applicable to
the Sale Order shall have expired or shall have been waived by the Bankruptcy Court.

10.4 Frustration of Closing Conditions. Neither Seller nor Purchaser may rely on the
failure of any condition set forth in Section 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, or, as the
case may be, if such failure was caused by such party’s failure to comply with any provision of
this Agreement.

ARTICLE XI

INDEMNIFICATION

11.1 Survival of Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties
of the parties contained in Articles V and VI of this Agreement shall survive the
Closing through and including the first (1st) anniversary of the Closing Date (the
“Survival Period”); provided, however, that any obligations to indemnify
and hold harmless shall not terminate with respect to any Losses as to which the Person to be
indemnified shall have given notice (stating in reasonable detail the basis of the claim for
indemnification) to the indemnifying party in accordance with Section 13.3(a) before the
termination of the Survival Period.

11.2 Indemnification.

(a) Subject to Section 11.4 hereof, Seller hereby agrees to indemnify and hold
Purchaser and its directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, stockholders, agents, attorneys,
representatives, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnified Parties”)
harmless from and against:

(i) any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, damages, costs and expenses
(collectively, “Losses”) based upon, attributable to or resulting from the failure
of any representation or warranty of Seller set forth in this Agreement or in any Seller
Document, to be true and correct in all respects at the date hereof and at the Closing
Date;

(ii) any and all Losses based upon, attributable to or resulting from the breach of
any covenant or other agreement on the part of Seller under this Agreement or any Seller
Document;

(iii) any and all Losses arising out of, based upon or relating to any Excluded Asset
or any Excluded Liability; and

(iv) any and all Losses imposed under or pursuant to environmental Laws, including any
loss of any tangible personal property of Seller, liabilities, obligations, fines,
penalties, damages, costs and expenses imposed under or pursuant to environmental Laws
arising from or related to any condition, act or omission, by Seller or any predecessor
thereof or related to the operations of Seller or any predecessor thereof at any property
currently or formerly owned, operated or leased by Seller, whether known or unknown, to the
extent existing on or prior to the Closing Date, including, but not limited to any
environmental costs and Liabilities; and

(v) any and all notices, actions, suits, proceedings, claims, demands, assessments,
judgments, costs, penalties and expenses, including attorneys’ and other professionals’
fees and disbursements (collectively, “Expenses”) incident to any and all Losses
with respect to which indemnification is provided hereunder.

(b) Subject to Section 11.4, Purchaser hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Seller and
its Affiliates, stockholders, agents, attorneys, representatives, successors and permitted assigns
(collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against:

(i) any and all Losses based upon, attributable to or resulting from the failure of
any representation or warranty of Purchaser set forth in this Agreement or any Purchaser
Document, to be true and correct at the date hereof and at the Closing Date;

(ii) any and all Losses based upon, attributable to or resulting from the breach of
any covenant or other agreement on the part of Purchaser under this Agreement or any
Purchaser Document;

(iii) any and all Losses arising out of, based upon or relating to any Assumed
Liability;

(iv) any and all Losses arising in connection with the conduct and operation of
Purchaser’s business on and after the Closing Date; and

(v) any and all Expenses incident to any and all Losses with respect to which
indemnification is provided hereunder.

11.3 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) In the event that any Legal Proceedings shall be instituted or that any claim or demand
shall be asserted by any Person in respect of which payment may be sought under Section
11.2 hereof (regardless of the limitations set forth in Section 11.4)
“Indemnification Claim”), the indemnified party shall reasonably and promptly cause written
notice of the assertion of any Indemnification Claim of which it has knowledge which is covered by
this indemnity to be forwarded to the indemnifying party. The indemnifying party shall have the
right, at its sole expense, to be represented by counsel of its choice, which must be reasonably
satisfactory to the indemnified party, and to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal
with any Indemnification Claim which relates to any Losses indemnified against hereunder;
provided that the indemnifying party shall have acknowledged in writing to the indemnified
party its unqualified obligation to indemnify the indemnified party as provided hereunder. If the
indemnifying party elects to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any
Indemnification Claim which relates to any Losses indemnified against hereunder, it shall within
ten (10) days (or sooner, if the nature of the Indemnification Claim so requires) notify the
indemnified party of its intent to do so. If the indemnifying party elects not to defend against,
negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Indemnification Claim which relates to any Losses
indemnified against hereunder, fails to notify the indemnified party of its election as herein
provided or contests its obligation to indemnify the indemnified party for such Losses under this
Agreement, the indemnified party may defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with such
Indemnification Claim. If the indemnified party defends any Indemnification Claim, then the
indemnifying party shall reimburse the indemnified party for the Expenses of defending such
Indemnification Claim upon submission of periodic bills. If the indemnifying party shall assume
the defense of any Indemnification Claim, the indemnified party may participate, at his or its own
expense, in the defense of such Indemnification Claim; provided, however, that such
indemnified party shall be entitled to participate in any such defense with separate counsel at the
expense of the indemnifying party if (i) so requested by the indemnifying party to participate or
(ii) in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the indemnified party a conflict or potential conflict
exists between the indemnified party and the indemnifying party that would make such separate
representation advisable; and provided, further, that the indemnifying party shall
not be required to pay for more than one such counsel for all indemnified parties in connection
with any Indemnification Claim. The parties hereto agree to cooperate fully with each other in
connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any such Indemnification Claim.
Notwithstanding anything in this Section 11.3 to the contrary, neither the indemnifying
party nor the indemnified party shall, without the written consent of the other party, settle or
compromise any Indemnification Claim or permit a default or consent to entry of any judgment unless
the claimant and such party provide to such other party an unqualified release from all liability
in respect of the Indemnification Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a settlement offer
solely for money damages is made by the applicable third party claimant, and the indemnifying party
notifies the indemnified party in writing of the indemnifying party’s willingness to accept the
settlement offer and, subject to the applicable limitations of Section 11.4, pay the amount
called for by such offer, and the indemnified party declines to accept such offer, the indemnified
party may continue to contest such Indemnification Claim, free of any participation by the
indemnifying party, and the amount of any ultimate liability with respect to such Indemnification
Claim that the indemnifying party has an obligation to pay hereunder shall be limited to the lesser
of (A) the amount of the settlement offer that the indemnified party declined to accept plus the
Losses of the indemnified party relating to such Indemnification Claim through the date of its
rejection of the settlement offer or (B) the aggregate Losses of the indemnified party with respect
to such Indemnification Claim. If the indemnifying party makes any payment on any Indemnification
Claim, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated, to the extent of such payment, to all rights and
remedies of the indemnified party to any insurance benefits or other claims of the indemnified
party with respect to such Indemnification Claim.

(b) After any final judgment or award shall have been rendered by a Governmental Body of
competent jurisdiction and the expiration of the time in which to appeal therefrom, or a settlement
shall have been consummated, or the indemnified party and the indemnifying party shall have arrived
at a mutually binding agreement with respect to an Indemnification Claim hereunder, the indemnified
party shall forward to the indemnifying party notice of any sums due and owing by the indemnifying
party pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such matter and the indemnifying party shall be
required to pay all of the sums so due and owing to the indemnified party by wire transfer of
immediately available funds within ten (10) Business Days after the date of such notice.

(c) The failure of the indemnified party to give reasonably prompt notice of any
Indemnification Claim shall not release, waive or otherwise affect the indemnifying party’s
obligations with respect thereto except to the extent that the indemnifying party can demonstrate
actual loss and prejudice as a result of such failure.

11.4 Breaches of Representations and Warranties. For purposes of calculating Losses
hereunder, any materiality or material adverse effect qualifications in the representations,
warranties, covenants and agreements shall be ignored.

11.5 Limitations on Indemnification . Neither Seller nor Purchaser shall be required
to indemnify any Person hereunder for an aggregate amount of Losses and Expenses above the amount
of the Indemnity Escrow Fund. The Indemnity Escrow Fund shall be the sole source of payment of any
of Seller’s indemnification obligations hereunder.

11.6 Indemnity Escrow. On the Closing Date, Purchaser shall pay from the Purchase
Price to the Indemnity Escrow Agent, in immediately available funds, to the account designated by
the Indemnity Escrow Agent, the Indemnity Escrow Amount, in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement and the Indemnity Escrow Agreement. Any payment Seller is obligated to make to any
Purchaser Indemnified Parties pursuant to this Article XI shall be paid first from the
Indemnity Escrow Fund. Following the first (1st) anniversary of the Closing Date, the
Indemnity Escrow Agent shall release the Indemnity Escrow Fund (to the extent not utilized to pay
Purchaser for any indemnification claim) to Seller, except that the Indemnity Escrow Agent shall
retain an amount equal to the amount of claims for indemnification under this Article XI
asserted prior to such first (1st) anniversary but not yet resolved (“Unresolved
Claims”). The Indemnity Escrow Amount retained for Unresolved Claims shall be released by the
Indemnity Escrow Agent (to the extent not utilized to pay Purchaser for any such claims resolved in
favor of Purchaser) upon their resolution in accordance with this Article XI.

11.7 Tax Treatment of Indemnity Payments. Seller and Purchaser agree to treat any
indemnity payment made pursuant to this Article XI as an adjustment to the Purchase Price
for all Tax purposes. If, notwithstanding the treatment required by the preceding sentence, any
indemnification payment is determined to be taxable to the party receiving such payment by any
Taxing Authority, the paying party shall also indemnify the party receiving such payment for any
Taxes incurred by reason of the receipt of such payment and any Expenses incurred by the party
receiving such payment in connection with such Taxes (or any asserted deficiency, claim, demand,
action, suit, proceeding, judgment or assessment, including the defense or settlement thereof,
relating to such Taxes).

ARTICLE XII

TAXES

12.1 Transfer Taxes. Seller shall (i) be responsible for (and shall indemnify and
hold harmless Purchaser against) any and all Liabilities for any sales, use, stamp, documentary,
filing, recording, transfer, real estate transfer, stock transfer, gross receipts, registration,
duty, securities transactions or similar fees or taxes or governmental charges (together with any
interest or penalty, addition to tax or additional amount imposed) as levied by any Taxing
Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (collectively,
“Transfer Taxes”), regardless of the Person liable for such Transfer Taxes under applicable
Law and (ii) timely file or caused to be filed all necessary documents (including all Tax Returns)
with respect to Transfer Taxes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller shall use its
commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Sale Order to contain a provision that Seller’s sale,
transfer, assignment and conveyance of the Purchased Assets to Purchaser hereunder shall be
entitled to the protections afforded under Section 1146(c) of the Bankruptcy Code. The parties
will reasonably cooperate to minimize any such taxes, including with respect to delivery location.

12.2 Prorations. Seller shall bear all property and ad valorem tax liability with
respect to the Purchased Assets if the lien or assessment date arises prior to the Closing Date
irrespective of the reporting and payment dates of such taxes. All other real property taxes,
personal property taxes, or ad valorem obligations and similar recurring taxes and fees on the
Purchased Assets for taxable periods beginning before, and ending after, the Closing Date, shall be
prorated between Purchaser and Seller as of 12:01 a.m. eastern standard time on the Closing Date.
With respect to Taxes described in this Section 12.2, Seller shall timely file all Tax
Returns due before the Closing Date with respect to such Taxes and Purchaser shall prepare and
timely file all Tax Returns due after the Closing Date with respect to such Taxes. If one party
remits to the appropriate Taxing Authority payment for Taxes, which are subject to proration under
this Section 12.2 and such payment includes the other party’s share of such Taxes, such
other party shall promptly reimburse the remitting party for its share of such Taxes.

12.3 Purchase Price Allocation. Not later than sixty (60) days after the Closing
Date, Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to Seller copies of Form 8594 and any required exhibits
thereto (the “Asset Acquisition Statement”) allocating the purchase price among the
Purchased Assets. Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to Seller from time to time revised copies
of the Asset Acquisition Statement (the “Revised Statements”) so as to report any matters
on the Asset Acquisition Statement that need updating (including purchase price adjustments, if
any). The purchase price for the Purchased Assets shall be allocated in accordance with the Asset
Acquisition Statement or, if applicable, the last Revised Statements, provided by Purchaser to
Seller, and all income Tax Returns and reports filed by Purchaser and Seller shall be prepared
consistently with such allocation.

12.4 Cooperation on Tax Matters.

(a) Purchaser and Seller shall furnish or cause to be furnished to each other, as promptly as
practicable, such information and assistance relating to the Purchased Assets as is reasonably
necessary for the preparation and filing of any Tax Return, claim for refund or other required or
optional filings relating to Tax matters, for the preparation for any Tax audit, for the
preparation for any Tax protest, for the prosecution or defense of any suit or other proceeding
relating to Tax matters.

(b) Purchaser shall retain possession of all accounting, business, financial and Tax records
and information relating to the Purchased Assets that are in existence on the Closing Date and
transferred to Purchaser hereunder for a period of at least three (3) years from the Closing Date.
Purchaser shall give Seller notice and an opportunity to retain any such records in the event that
Purchaser determines to destroy or dispose of them after such period. In addition, from and after
the Closing Date, Purchaser shall provide access to Seller (after reasonably detailed prior notice
and during normal business hours), to the books, records, documents and other information relating
to the Purchased Assets as is reasonably necessary for Seller to properly prepare for, file, prove,
answer, prosecute and/or defend any Tax Return, claim, filing, tax audit, tax protest, suit,
proceeding or answer.

ARTICLE XIII

MISCELLANEOUS

13.1 Expenses. Except for the Expense Reimbursement and as otherwise provided in this
Agreement, each of Seller and Purchaser shall bear its own expenses incurred in connection with the
negotiation and execution of this Agreement and each other agreement, document and instrument
contemplated by this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and
thereby.

13.2 Specific Performance. Each of Seller and Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that
the breach of this Agreement would cause irreparable damage to Purchaser or Seller, as the case may
be, and that Purchaser or Seller, as the case may be, will not have an adequate remedy at law.
Therefore, the obligations of Seller under this Agreement, including, without limitation, Seller’s
obligation to sell the Purchased Assets to Purchaser and Purchaser’s obligation to purchase the
Purchased Assets from Seller, shall be enforceable by a decree of specific performance issued by
any court of competent jurisdiction, and appropriate injunctive relief may be applied for and
granted in connection therewith. Such remedies shall, however, be cumulative and not
exclusive and shall be in addition to any other remedies which any party may have under this
Agreement or otherwise.

13.3 Submission to Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.

(a) The parties hereto hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the
Bankruptcy Court over any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the
transactions contemplated hereby and each party hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in
respect of such dispute or any suit, action proceeding related thereto may be heard and determined
in the Bankruptcy Court; provided, however, that in the event the Bankruptcy Court
abstains from exercising or declines to exercise jurisdiction with respect to any matter provided
for in this sentence or is without jurisdiction, such abstention, refusal or lack of jurisdiction
shall have no effect upon and shall not control, prohibit or limit the exercise of jurisdiction of
any other court having competent jurisdiction with respect to any such matter. The parties hereby
irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection which they may
now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such dispute brought in such court or any
defense of inconvenient forum for the maintenance of such dispute. Each of the parties hereto
agrees that a judgment in any such dispute may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the
judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

(b) Each of the parties hereto hereby consents to process being served by any party to this
Agreement in any suit, action or proceeding by the mailing of a copy thereof in accordance with the
provisions of Section 13.7.

13.4 Waiver of Right to Trial by Jury. Each party to this Agreement waives any right
to trial by jury in any action, matter or proceeding regarding this Agreement or any provision
hereof.

13.5 Entire Agreement; Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement (including the
schedules and exhibits hereto) represent the entire understanding and agreement between the parties
hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement can be amended, supplemented or
changed, and any provision hereof can be waived, only by written instrument making specific
reference to this Agreement signed by the party against whom enforcement of any such amendment,
supplement, modification or waiver is sought. No action taken pursuant to this Agreement,
including without limitation, any investigation by or on behalf of any party, shall be deemed to
constitute a waiver by the party taking such action of compliance with any representation,
warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein. The waiver by any party hereto of a breach of
any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a further or continuing waiver
of such breach or as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. No failure on the part of any
party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate
as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power or remedy by
such party preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power
or remedy. All remedies hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other remedies
provided by law.

13.6 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and performed in such State.

13.7 Notices. All notices and other communications under this Agreement shall be in
writing and shall be deemed given (i) when delivered personally by hand (with written confirmation
of receipt), (ii) when sent by facsimile (with written confirmation of transmission) or (iii) one
