The date on which the Closing shall occur is referred to herein as the "Closing Date."

Effect of the Merger. At and after the Effective Time, the Merger shall have the effects as set forth in the applicable provisions of the CGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, all the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of each of the Company and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities, obligations, restrictions, disabilities and duties of each of the Company and Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities, obligations, restrictions, disabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation.

At the Effective Time, the Articles of Incorporation of the Company as the Surviving Corporation shall be amended and restated in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C.

At the Effective Time, the Bylaws of the Company as the Surviving Corporation shall be amended to read the same as the Bylaws of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time.

Directors and Officers of Merger Sub. The directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the initial directors of the Surviving Corporation, each to hold office in accordance with the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation, and the officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the initial officers of the Surviving Corporation, in each case until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified.

MERGER CONSIDERATION; EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES

Merger Consideration.

At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the holders of any of the following securities:

Each share of Company Common Stock (all issued and outstanding shares of Company Common Stock being hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Company Shares"), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Dissenting Shares and any Company Shares to be canceled pursuant to Section 2.01(a)(ii)) shall be converted, subject to Section 2.02(e), into the right to receive that number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the quotient (the "Exchange Ratio") obtained by dividing (i) the difference between (a) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and (b) one (the "Parent Shares"), by (ii) the sum of (A) the number of shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and (B) the number of shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon exercise of all of the Company Warrants issued and outstanding on the date of this Agreement; provided that any principal amount and interest outstanding under any of the Amended Notes that has not been converted immediately prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the terms of the Note Conversion Agreement into shares of Company Common Stock shall be deemed to have been converted into Company Common Stock pursuant to the terms of the Note Conversion Agreement immediately prior to the Effective Time for the purpose of calculating the number of shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time pursuant to (ii)(A) above. At the Effective Time, each Company Share shall be canceled, cease to be outstanding and cease to exist and each holder of Company Shares shall thereafter cease to have any rights with respect to such shares, except the right to receive, without interest, Parent Shares in accordance with this Section 2.01(a)(i) and cash for fractional Parent Shares in accordance with Section 2.02(e).

Each share of Company Stock held in the treasury of the Company and each share of Company Stock owned by Parent or any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent or of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and extinguished without any conversion thereof and no payment or distribution shall be made with respect thereto.

Each share of common stock of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and exchanged for one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation. The stock certificate evidencing shares of common stock of Merger Sub shall then evidence ownership of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

Exchange of Certificates.

Exchange Agent. Within five business days after the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with any bank or trust company designated by Parent and reasonably satisfactory to the Company (the "Exchange Agent"), for the benefit of the holders of Company Shares, for exchange in accordance with this Article II through the Exchange Agent, certificates representing that number of Parent Shares that is issuable pursuant to Section 2.01 as of the Effective Time and cash, from time to time as required to make payments in lieu of any fractional shares pursuant to Section 2.02(e) (such cash and certificates for Parent Shares, together with any dividends or distributions with respect thereto, being hereinafter referred to as the "Exchange Fund"). The Exchange Agent shall, pursuant to irrevocable instructions, deliver the Parent Shares contemplated to be issued pursuant to Section 2.01 out of the Exchange Fund. Except as contemplated by Section 2.02(f) hereof, the Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose.

Exchange Procedures. Within five business days after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each record holder of a certificate or certificates (a "Certificate" or "Certificates") (i) a letter of transmittal (a "Letter of Transmittal") in customary form and (ii) instructions for use in surrendering such Certificates and receiving Parent Shares pursuant to Section 2.01. Upon surrender to the Exchange Agent of a Certificate for cancellation, together with a Letter of Transmittal, duly executed and completed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may be reasonably required pursuant to such instructions, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive, in exchange therefor, a certificate representing that number of whole Parent Shares that such holder has the right to receive in respect of the Company Shares formerly represented by such Certificate (after taking into account all Company Shares then held by such holder), cash in lieu of any fractional Parent Shares to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.02(e) and any dividends or other distributions to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.02(c), and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Company Shares that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, a certificate representing the proper number of Parent Shares, cash in lieu of any fractional Parent Shares to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.02(e) and any dividends or other distributions to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.02(c) may be issued to a transferee if the Certificate representing such Company Shares is presented to the Exchange Agent, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and by evidence satisfactory to Parent that any applicable share transfer taxes have been paid. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.02, each Certificate shall be deemed at all times after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the certificate representing Parent Shares, cash in lieu of any fractional Parent Shares to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.02(e) and any dividends or other distributions to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.02(c).

Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged Parent Shares. No dividends or other distributions declared or made after the Effective Time with respect to Parent Shares with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate with respect to the Parent Shares represented thereby, and no cash payment in lieu of any fractional shares shall be paid to any such holder pursuant to Section 2.02(e), until the holder of such Certificate shall surrender such Certificate in accordance with this Section 2.02. Subject to the effect of escheat, tax or other applicable Laws (as defined in Section 3.06(a)), following surrender of any such Certificate, there shall be paid to the holder of the certificates representing whole Parent Shares issued in exchange therefor, without interest, (i) the amount of any cash payable with respect to a fractional Parent Share to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.02(e) and the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time and theretofore payable with respect to such whole Parent Shares and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions, with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to surrender and a payment date occurring after surrender, payable with respect to such whole Parent Shares.

No Further Rights in Company Shares. All Parent Shares issued upon conversion of Company Shares in accordance with the terms hereof and any cash paid pursuant to Section 2.02(c) or (e) shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Company Shares.

No Fractional Shares. No certificates or scrip representing fractional Parent Shares shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates, and such fractional share interests will not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any other rights of a stockholder of Parent. Each holder of a fractional share interest shall be paid an amount in cash (without interest) equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) such fractional share interest to which such holder (after taking into account all fractional share interests then held by such holder) would otherwise be entitled by (ii) the average closing price per share of Parent Shares for the 30 trading day period up to and including the trading day immediately preceding the Effective Time, as reported on The Nasdaq National Market. As promptly as practicable after the determination of the amount of cash, if any, to be paid to holders of fractional share interests, the Exchange Agent shall so notify Parent, and Parent shall deposit such amount with the Exchange Agent and shall cause the Exchange Agent to forward payments to such holders of fractional share interests subject to and in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.02.

No Liability. Neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall be liable to any holder of Company Shares for any such shares of Parent Common Stock (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto) or cash properly and legally delivered to a public official pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or similar Law (as defined in Section 3.06(a)).

Withholding Rights. Each of the Exchange Agent, the Surviving Corporation and Parent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Company Shares such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax (as defined in Section 3.15(c)) Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by the Exchange Agent, the Surviving Corporation or Parent, as the case may be, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the Company Shares in respect of which such deduction and withholding were made by the Exchange Agent, the Surviving Corporation or Parent, as the case may be.

Affiliates. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no Parent Shares (or certificates therefor) shall be issued in exchange for any Certificates to any person who, prior to the Effective Time, may be an "affiliate" (as that term is used in Rule 145 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (together with the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the "Securities Act")) of the Company (each such person being an "Affiliate") until such person shall have delivered to Parent and the Company a duly executed Affiliate Agreement as contemplated by Section 6.11.

Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Parent, the posting by such person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as Parent may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, Parent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the applicable Parent Shares and cash in lieu of any fractional shares to which such person is otherwise entitled pursuant to Section 2.20(e) (and dividends or other distributions pursuant to Section 2.02(c)) to which such person is entitled pursuant to the provisions of this Article II.

Return of Parent Shares. Promptly following the end of the fifth full calendar month after the Effective Time, the Exchange Agent shall return to Parent all of the remaining Parent Shares and the Exchange Agent's duties shall terminate. Thereafter, upon the surrender of a Certificate to Parent and such other documents as may reasonably be required by Parent, and subject to applicable abandoned property, escheat and similar Laws, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive from Parent in exchange therefor the applicable Parent Shares (and dividends or other distributions pursuant to Section 2.02(c)) without any interest thereon.

Stock Transfer Books. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and there shall be no further registration of transfers of Company Shares thereafter on the records of the Company. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of certificates representing Company Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Company Shares, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or by Law. On or after the Effective Time, any Certificates presented to the Exchange Agent or Parent for any reason shall be converted into Parent Shares, any cash in lieu of fractional Parent Shares to which the holders thereof are entitled pursuant to Section 2.02(e) and any dividends or other distributions to which the holders thereof are entitled pursuant to Section 2.02(c).

Company Stock Options; Company Warrants.

At the Effective Time, Parent shall assume all options to purchase Company Common Stock issued by the Company pursuant to the Company Stock Plan and the Company 2002 Stock Plan (each as defined in Section 3.04(b)) whether vested or unvested and whether exercisable or unexercisable (each a "Company Option"); provided, however, that for any optionee residing in the United Kingdom, the assumption by Parent of the option and the ability of the optionee to exercise the assumed option will be conditioned upon the agreement of the optionee to execute, upon the request of Parent, an Inland Revenue approved joint election agreement that shifts to the optionee any Secondary Class 1 National Insurance Contribution liability of the Parent and/or any UK employer of the optionee in connection with the exercise, assignment, release, or cancellation of the assumed option. The Company's repurchase right with respect to any unvested shares acquired by the exercise of Company Options shall be assigned to Parent by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of the Company or the holder of such unvested shares. Immediately after the Effective Time (including, without limitation, any repurchase rights or vesting provisions) each Company Option outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be deemed to constitute an option to acquire, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such Company Option at the Effective Time (including, without limitation, any repurchase rights or vesting provisions), such number of shares of Parent Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole number) that is equal to the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to the unexercised portion of such Company Option multiplied by the Exchange Ratio. The per share exercise price for the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such assumed Company Option shall be equal to the exercise price per share of such Company Option in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by the Exchange Ratio (the exercise price per share, as so determined, being rounded up to the nearest whole cent). The term, vesting schedule, status as an "incentive stock option" under Section 422 of the Code, if applicable, and all of the other terms of the Company Options shall otherwise remain unchanged. It is the intention of the parties that each Company Option so assumed by Parent shall qualify following the Effective Time as an incentive stock option as defined in Section 422 of the Code to the extent permitted under Section 422 of the Code and to the extent such Company Option qualified as an incentive stock option prior to the Effective Time.

Within 45 business days after the Effective Time, Parent will issue to each person who, immediately prior to the Effective Time, was a holder of a Company Option a document evidencing the foregoing assumption of such option by Parent. Within 20 calendar days after the Effective Time, Parent shall file with the SEC (as defined in Section 4.08(a)) a registration statement on Form S-8 (or any successor or other appropriate form) that will register the shares of Parent Common Stock subject to assumed Company Options to the extent permitted by Federal securities laws and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement or registration statements for so long as such options remain outstanding.

At the Effective Time, each Company Warrant, whether or not contingent or earned and whether exercisable or unexercisable, that does not terminate by its terms at or prior to the Effective Time, shall be assumed by Parent and shall represent a warrant to acquire shares of Parent Common Stock in accordance with its terms. Each Company Warrant so assumed shall continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions set forth in such Company Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that (i) such Company Warrant shall be exercisable (or become exercisable in accordance with its terms) for that number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole number) equal to the product of the number of shares of Company Common Stock that were issuable upon exercise of such Company Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, and (ii) the per share exercise price for the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such assumed Company Warrant shall be equal to the exercise price per share of Company Stock at which such Company Warrant was exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by the Exchange Ratio (the exercise price per share, as so determined, being rounded up to the nearest whole cent).

Dissenting Shares.

Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Company Shares that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and which are held by shareholders who have exercised and perfected dissenters' rights for such shares of Company Stock in accordance with the CGCL (collectively, the "Dissenting Shares") shall not be converted into or represent the right to receive the applicable Parent Shares. Such shareholders shall be entitled to receive payment of the appraisal value of such Company Shares held by them in accordance with the CGCL, unless and until such shareholders fail to perfect or effectively withdraw or otherwise lose their dissenters' rights under the CGCL. All Dissenting Shares held by shareholders who shall have failed to perfect or who effectively shall have withdrawn or lost their right to receive the appraisal value of such Company Shares under the CGCL shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted into and to have become exchangeable for, as of the Effective Time, the right to receive the applicable Parent Shares, without any interest thereon, upon the surrender, in the manner provided in Section 2.02, of the corresponding Certificate.

The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of any demands for fair market value received by the Company, withdrawals of such demands, and any other related instruments served pursuant to the CGCL and received by the Company and (ii) the opportunity to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under the CGCL. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal or offer to settle or settle any such demands.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY

The Company hereby represents and warrants to Parent and Merger Sub that the statements contained in this Article III are true and correct except as set forth in the disclosure schedule delivered by the Company to Parent and Merger Sub concurrently with the execution of this Agreement (the "Company Disclosure Schedule"). The Company Disclosure Schedule shall be arranged according to specific sections in this Article III and shall provide exceptions to, or otherwise qualify in reasonable detail, only the corresponding section in this Article III and any other section hereof where it is clear, upon a reading of such disclosure without any independent knowledge on the part of the reader regarding the matter disclosed, that the disclosure is intended to apply to such other section.

The Company is duly qualified or licensed as a foreign corporation to do business, and is in good standing, in each jurisdiction where the character of the properties owned, leased or operated by it or the nature of its business makes such qualification or licensing necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or licensed and in good standing has not had, and could not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect. The term "Company Material Adverse Effect" means any event, change, violation, inaccuracy, circumstance or effect that is, or could reasonably be expected to be, individually or in the aggregate, materially adverse to (i) the business, operations, condition (financial or otherwise), assets (tangible or intangible), liabilities, properties, or results of operations of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries taken as a whole, or (ii) the ability of the Company to consummate the Merger or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or to perform its obligations under this Agreement, in each case prior to the Termination Date; provided, however, that none of the following shall be deemed in themselves, either alone or in combination, to constitute, and none of the following shall be taken into account in determining whether there has been, or will be, a Company Material Adverse Effect: (a) any changes in general economic or business conditions that do not disproportionately impact the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, (b) any changes or events affecting the industry in which the Company operates that do not disproportionately impact the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, (it being understood that in any controversy concerning the applicability of the preceding exceptions (a) and (b), the Company shall have the burden of proof with respect to the elements of such exceptions), (c) any adverse event, change, violation, inaccuracy, circumstance or effect, including the payment of fees and expenses, resulting from the terms of, or the taking of any action required by, this Agreement, or (d) any adverse event, change, violation, inaccuracy, circumstance or effect related to or resulting from the announcement the Merger.

Each Company Subsidiary is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in corporate and tax good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation. Each Company Subsidiary is duly qualified to conduct business and is in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction in which the nature of its business or the ownership or leasing of its properties requires such qualification, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing has not had, and could not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect. Each Company Subsidiary has all requisite power and authority to carry on the businesses in which it is engaged and to own and use the properties owned and used by it. The Company has delivered or made available to Parent complete and accurate copies of the charter, Bylaws or other organizational documents of each Company Subsidiary. No Company Subsidiary is in default under or in violation of any provision of its charter, Bylaws or other organizational documents. All of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of each Company Subsidiary are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid, nonassessable and free of preemptive rights. All shares of each Company Subsidiary are held of record or owned beneficially by either the Company or another Company Subsidiary and are held or owned free and clear of any restriction on transfer (other than restrictions under Federal or state securities laws), claim, security interest, option, warrant, right, contract, call, commitment, equity or demand. There are no outstanding or authorized options, warrants, rights, agreements or commitments to which the Company or any Company Subsidiary is a party or which are binding on any of them providing for the issuance, disposition or acquisition of any capital stock of any Company Subsidiary.

The Company has reserved (i) 11,394,609 shares of Company Common Stock for issuance under the Company's Amended and Restated Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan (the "Company Stock Plan") of which options to purchase 8,730,419 shares of Company Common Stock are outstanding as of the date of this Agreement and (ii) 150,000,000 shares of Company Common Stock for issuance under the Company's 2002 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Company 2002 Stock Plan") of which options to purchase 124,606,068 shares of Company Common Stock are outstanding as of the date of this Agreement.

No Company Option will by its terms require an adjustment in connection with the Merger, except as contemplated by this Agreement. Neither the consummation of transactions contemplated by this Agreement, nor any action taken or to be taken by Company in connection with such transactions, will result in (i) any acceleration of exercisability or vesting, whether or not contingent on the occurrence of any event after consummation of the Merger, in favor of any optionee under any Company Option; (ii) any additional benefits for any optionee under any Company Option; or (iii) the inability of Parent after the Effective Time to exercise any right or benefit held by Company prior to the Effective Time with respect to any Company Option assumed by Parent or any shares of Company Common Stock previously issued upon exercise of a Company Option, including, without limitation, the right to repurchase an optionee's unvested shares on termination of such optionee's employment. The assumption by Parent of Company Options in accordance with Section 2.04(a) hereunder will not give rise to any event described in clauses (i) through (iii) in the immediately preceding sentence or constitute a breach of the Company Stock Plan, the Company 2002 Stock Plan or any agreement entered into pursuant to such plans.

The Company has reserved 560,110 shares of Company Common Stock for future issuance pursuant to the exercise of Company Warrants.

All shares of Company Stock so subject to issuance, upon issuance in accordance with the terms and conditions specified in the instruments pursuant to which they are issuable, will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. The holders of Company Options and Company Warrants have been or will be given, or shall have properly waived, any required notice of the Merger prior to the Effective Time, and all such rights to a notice, if any, will terminate at or prior to the Effective Time.

The Company does not have outstanding any bonds, debentures, notes or other obligations the holders of which have the right to vote (or which are convertible into or exercisable for securities having the right to vote) with the stockholders of the Company on any matter.

All of the securities offered, sold, issued or, to knowledge of the Company, assumed by the Company (i) have been offered, sold or issued in compliance with the requirements of the Federal securities laws and any applicable state securities or "blue sky" laws and (ii) are not subject to any preemptive right, right of first refusal, right of first offer or right of recission.

There are no outstanding contractual obligations of the Company to repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any share of capital stock of, or other equity interest in, the Company.

Authority Relative to This Agreement.

The Company has all necessary corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, to perform its obligations hereunder and, subject to obtaining the necessary approvals of the Company shareholders, to consummate the Merger. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate action and no other corporate proceedings on the part of the Company are necessary to authorize this Agreement or to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement (other than the approval of this Agreement (including the principal terms hereof) and the Merger by the Company shareholders as described in Section 3.16 hereof and the filing and recordation of appropriate merger documents as required by the CGCL). This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Company and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by Parent and Merger Sub, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or similar Laws affecting creditors' rights generally and subject, as to enforceability, to the effect of general principles of equity.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Board of Directors of the Company, at a meeting duly called and held, has unanimously (i) determined that the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby are fair to, and in the best interests of, the Company and its shareholders, (ii) approved the Company Charter Amendment, this Agreement (including the principal terms hereof), the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby in accordance with the provisions of the CGCL and the Company's charter documents, and (iii) directed that the Company Charter Amendment, this Agreement and the Merger be submitted to the Company shareholders for their approval and (iv) resolved to recommend that the Company shareholders vote in favor of the approval of the Company Charter Amendment, this Agreement (including the principal terms hereof) and the Merger.

The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company do not, and the performance of this Agreement by the Company will not, require any consent, approval, order, permit, or authorization from, or registration, notification or filing with, any domestic or foreign governmental, regulatory or administrative authority, agency or commission, any court, tribunal or arbitral body, or any quasi-governmental or private body exercising any regulatory, taxing, importing or other governmental authority (a "Governmental Entity"), except for the filing and recordation of appropriate merger documents as required by the CGCL and for such other consents, approvals, orders, permits, authorizations, registrations, notifications or filings, which if not obtained or made could not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to prevent or materially delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Permits; Compliance.

Each of the Company and each Company Subsidiary is in possession of all franchises, grants, authorizations, licenses, permits, easements, variances, exceptions, consents, certificates, approvals and orders of any Governmental Entity necessary for the Company and each Company Subsidiary to own, lease and otherwise hold and operate its properties and other assets and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted and as currently proposed to be conducted (the "Company Permits"), except where the failure of the Company and each Company Subsidiary to possess such Company Permits could not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect. All Company Permits are in full force and effect and will remain so after the Closing and no suspension or cancellation of any Company Permit is pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened. Neither the Company nor any Company Subsidiary has received any notice or other communication from any Governmental Entity regarding (i) any actual or possible violation of or failure to comply with any term or requirement of any Company Permit, or (ii) any actual or possible revocation, withdrawal, suspension, cancellation, termination or modification of any Company Permit.

There are no outstanding warranty claims against the Company.

Absence of Certain Changes or Events. Since September 30, 2001, except as contemplated by or as disclosed in this Agreement, the Company and the Company Subsidiaries have conducted their respective businesses only in the ordinary course and in a manner consistent with past practice and, since such date, (a) there has not been any Company Material Adverse Effect and (b) the Company and the Company Subsidiaries have not taken or legally committed to take any of the actions specified in Sections 5.01(a) through 5.01(z).

Absence of Litigation. There is no litigation, suit, claim, action, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against the Company or any Company Subsidiary, or any property or asset owned or used by the Company or any Company Subsidiary or any person whose liability the Company or any Company Subsidiary has or may have assumed, either contractually or by operation of Law, before any arbitrator or Governmental Entity (a "Company Legal Proceeding") that could reasonably be expected, if resolved adversely to the Company, to (i) impair the operations of the Company or any Company Subsidiary as currently conducted, including, without limitation, any claim of infringement of any intellectual property right, (ii) result in losses to the Company or any Company Subsidiary in excess of $50,000, (iii) impair the ability of the Company or any Company Subsidiary to perform its obligations under this Agreement or (iv) prevent, delay or make illegal the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. To the Company's knowledge, no event has occurred, and no claim, dispute or other condition or circumstance exists, that could reasonably be expected to give rise to or serve as a basis of the commencement of any Company Legal Proceeding. None of the Company or any Company Subsidiary, the officers or directors thereof in their capacity as such, or any property or asset of the Company or any Company Subsidiary is subject to any continuing order of, consent decree, settlement agreement or other similar written agreement with, or, to the knowledge of the Company, continuing investigation by, any Governmental Entity, or any order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award of any court, arbitrator or Governmental Entity. Neither the Company nor any Company Subsidiary has any plans to initiate any material Company Legal Proceeding against any third party.

Employee Benefit Plans; Labor Matters.

Schedule 3.11(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule lists all employee benefit plans (as defined in Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA")) and all bonus, stock option, stock purchase, stock appreciation right, restricted stock, phantom stock, incentive, deferred compensation, retiree medical, disability or life insurance, cafeteria benefit, dependent care, disability, director or employee loan, fringe benefit, sabbatical, supplemental retirement, severance or other benefit plans, programs or arrangements, (whether legally enforceable or not, whether formal or informal and whether in writing or not) (each, a "Company Plan," and collectively, the "Company Plans") to which the Company or any Company Subsidiary is a party, with respect to which the Company or any Company Subsidiary has any obligation or which are maintained, contributed to or sponsored by the Company or any Company Subsidiary for the benefit of any current or former employee, officer or director of the Company or any Company Subsidiary

Each Company Plan is in writing and the Company has made available to Parent a true and complete copy of each Company Plan (or a written summary where the Company Plan is not in writing) and a true and complete copy of each material document, if any, prepared in connection with each such Company Plan, including, without limitation, and only if applicable, (i) a copy of each trust or other funding arrangement, (ii) each summary plan description and summary of material modifications, (iii) the two most recent annual reports (Form 5500 series and all schedules and financial statements attached thereto) required under ERISA or the Code, (iv) the most recently received Internal Revenue Service determination letter for each Company Plan intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code, (v) the most recently prepared actuarial report and financial statement in connection with each such Company Plan, (vi) any material correspondence with the Internal Revenue Service or the Department of Labor with respect to each such Company Plan and (vii) each form of notice of grant and stock option agreement used to document Company Options. Except for the Company Plans, neither the Company nor any Company Subsidiary has an express or implied commitment, whether legally enforceable or not, (x) to create, incur liability with respect to, or cause to exist, any other employee benefit plan, program or arrangement that would constitute a Company Plan, (y) to enter into any contract or agreement to provide compensation for services to any individual, or (z) to modify, change the terms of or terminate any Company Plan, other than with respect to a modification, change or termination required by ERISA or the Code.

None of the Company Plans is a multi-employer plan (within the meaning of Section 3(37) or 4001(a)(3) of ERISA) (a "Multi-employer Plan") or a single employer pension plan (within the meaning of Section 4001(a)(15) of ERISA) for which the Company or any Company Subsidiary could incur liability under Section 4063 or 4064 of ERISA (a "Multiple Employer Plan").

Except as otherwise required by ERISA, the Code or other applicable Federal, state, local or foreign law, none of the Company Plans provides for the payment of separation, severance, termination or similar benefits to any person, or obligates the Company or any Company Subsidiary to pay separation, severance, termination or similar-type benefits solely or partially as a result of any transaction contemplated by this Agreement or as a result of a "change in ownership or control," within the meaning of such term under Section 280G of the Code. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, either alone or together with another event, will (i) result in any payment (including, without limitation, severance, unemployment compensation, golden parachute, forgiveness of indebtedness or otherwise) becoming due under any Company Plan, whether or not such payment is contingent, (ii) increase any benefits otherwise payable under any Company Plan or other arrangement, (iii) result in the acceleration of the time of payment, vesting or funding of any benefits including, but not limited to, the acceleration of the vesting and exercisability of any Company Option, whether or not contingent, or (iv) affect in any material respects any Company Plan's current treatment under any Laws including any Tax or social contribution Law. No Company Plan provides, or reflects or represents any liability to provide, retiree health, disability, or life insurance benefits to any person for any reason, except as may be required by the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended ("COBRA"), or other applicable Federal, state, local or foreign statute or other law, and the Company has never represented, promised or contracted (whether in oral or written form) to any employee (either individually or to employees as a group) or any other person that such employee or other person would be provided with retiree health, disability, or life insurance benefits, except to the extent required by applicable Federal, state, local or foreign statute or other law.

Each Company Plan is now and always has been operated in accordance in all material respects with its terms and the requirements of all applicable Laws, regulations and rules promulgated thereunder including, without limitation, ERISA, COBRA, the Family Medical Leave Act of 1993, as amended ("FMLA"), and the Code. Each of the Company and each Company Subsidiary has substantially performed in all material respects all material obligations required to be performed by it under, is not in any respect in default under or in violation of, and has no knowledge of any default or violation by any party to, any Company Plan. No action, claim or proceeding is pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened with respect to any Company Plan (other than claims for benefits in the ordinary course) and, to the knowledge of the Company, no fact or event exists which could give rise to any such action, claim or proceeding. To the Company's knowledge, neither the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate (as defined below) of the Company is subject to any penalty or Tax with respect to any Company Plan under Section 502(i) of ERISA or Sections 4975 through 4980 of the Code. "ERISA Affiliate" means a person that is a member of the same controlled group as another person or under common control with such other person within the meaning of Section 414 of the Code. Each Company Plan can be amended, terminated or otherwise discontinued at any time without material liability to Parent, the Company or any of their ERISA Affiliates (other than ordinary administration expenses). Neither the Company nor any affiliate has, prior to the Effective Time and in any material respect, violated any of the health care continuation requirements of COBRA, the requirements of FMLA, the requirements of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, the requirements of the Women's Health and Cancer Rights Act of 1998, the requirements of the Newborns' and Mothers' Health Protection Act of 1996, or any amendment to each such act, or any similar provisions of state Law applicable to its employees.

Each Company Plan intended to qualify under Section 401(a) or Section 401(k) of the Code and each trust intended to qualify under Section 501(a) of the Code (i) has received a favorable determination, opinion, notification or advisory letter from the Internal Revenue Service with respect to each such Company Plan as to its qualified status under the Code, including all amendments to the Code effected by the Tax Reform Act of 1986 and subsequent legislation, and no fact or event has occurred since the date of such determination letter or letters from the Internal Revenue Service to adversely affect the qualified status of any such Company Plan or the exempt status of any such trust, or (ii) has remaining a period of time under applicable Treasury regulations or Internal Revenue Service pronouncements in which to apply for such a letter and make any amendments necessary to obtain a favorable determination as to the qualified status of each such Company Plan.

Neither the Company nor any Company Subsidiary nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred any liability under, arising out of or by operation of Title IV of ERISA (other than liability for premiums to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation arising in the ordinary course), including, without limitation, any liability in connection with (i) the termination or reorganization of any employee benefit plan subject to Title IV of ERISA or (ii) the withdrawal from any Multi-employer Plan or Multiple Employer Plan, and no fact or event exists which could give rise to any such liability.

Neither the Company nor any Company Subsidiary has, since December 31, 1995 terminated, suspended, discontinued contributions to or withdrawn from any employee pension benefit plan, as defined in Section 3(2) of ERISA, including, without limitation, any Multi-employer Plan.

Parent 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 otherwise hold and operate its properties and other assets and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted and as currently proposed to be conducted, except where the failure to be so organized, existing or in good standing or to have such corporate power and authority has not had, and could not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Parent Material Adverse Effect (as defined below). The Company is duly qualified or licensed as a foreign corporation to do business, and is in good standing, in each jurisdiction where the character of the properties owned, leased or operated by it or the nature of its business makes such qualification or licensing necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or licensed and in good standing has not had, and could not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Parent Material Adverse Effect. The term "Parent Material Adverse Effect" means any event, change, violation, inaccuracy, circumstance or effect that is, or could reasonably be expected to be, individually or in the aggregate, materially adverse to (i) the business, operations, condition (financial or otherwise), assets (tangible or intangible), liabilities, properties, or results of operations of Parent and the Parent Subsidiaries taken as a whole, or (ii) the ability of Parent to consummate the Merger or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or to perform its obligations under this Agreement, in each case prior to the Termination Date; provided, however, that (i) none of the following shall be deemed in themselves, either alone or in combination, to constitute, and none of the following shall be taken into account in determining whether there has been, or will be, a Parent Material Adverse Effect: (a) any changes in general economic or business conditions that do not disproportionately impact Parent and the Parent Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, (b) any changes or events affecting the industry in which Parent operates that do not disproportionately impact Parent and the Parent Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, (it being understood that in any controversy concerning the applicability of the preceding exceptions (a) and (b), Parent shall have the burden of proof with respect to the elements of such exceptions), (c) any adverse event, change, violation, inaccuracy, circumstance or effect, including the payment of fees and expenses, resulting from the terms of, or the taking of any action required by, this Agreement, or (d) any adverse event, change, violation, inaccuracy, circumstance or effect related to or resulting from the announcement the Merger, and (ii) any change in the market price of the Parent Common Stock in and of itself shall not be deemed to constitute a Parent Material Adverse Effect; provided, however, that in the event any change in the market price of Parent Common Stock is related to one or more events, facts or circumstances affecting Parent and the Parent Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, such change in the market price of Parent Common Stock and such events, facts or circumstances shall be considered collectively in determining whether there has been a Parent Material Adverse Effect.

Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws. Parent has heretofore made available to the Company a complete and correct copy of (a) the Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws of Parent including all amendments thereto, (b) the minute books containing all consents, actions and meeting of the stockholders of Parent and Parent's Board of Directors and any committees thereof, and (c) the stock transfer books of Parent setting forth all issuances or transfers of any capital stock of Parent.

Each Parent Subsidiary is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in corporate and tax good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation. Each Parent Subsidiary is duly qualified to conduct business and is in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction in which the nature of its business or the ownership or leasing of its properties requires such qualification, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing has not had, and could not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Parent Material Adverse Effect. Each Parent Subsidiary has all requisite power and authority to carry on the businesses in which it is engaged and to own and use the properties owned and used by it. Parent has delivered or made available to the Company complete and accurate copies of the charter, Bylaws or other organizational documents of each Parent Subsidiary. No Parent Subsidiary is in default under or in violation of any provision of its charter, Bylaws or other organizational documents. All of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of each Parent Subsidiary are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid, nonassessable and free of preemptive rights. All shares of each Parent Subsidiary are held of record or owned beneficially by either Parent or another Parent Subsidiary and are held or owned free and clear of any restriction on transfer (other than restrictions under Federal or state securities laws), claim, security interest, option, warrant, right, contract, call, commitment, equity or demand. There are no outstanding or authorized options, warrants, rights, agreements or commitments to which Parent or any Parent Subsidiary is a party or which are binding on any of them providing for the issuance, disposition or acquisition of any capital stock of any Parent Subsidiary.

No Parent Option will by its terms require an adjustment in connection with the Merger, except as contemplated by this Agreement. Neither the consummation of transactions contemplated by this Agreement, nor any action taken or to be taken by Parent in connection with such transactions, will result in (i) any acceleration of exercisability or vesting, whether or not contingent on the occurrence of any event after consummation of the Merger, in favor of any optionee under any Parent Option; (ii) any additional benefits for any optionee under any Parent Option; or (iii) the inability of Parent after the Effective Time to exercise any right or benefit held by Parent prior to the Effective Time with respect to any Parent Option assumed by Parent or any shares of Parent Common Stock previously issued upon exercise of a Parent Option, including, without limitation, the right to repurchase an optionee's unvested shares on termination of such optionee's employment.

Except as described in Section 4.04(b) above, there are no options, warrants or other rights, agreements, arrangements or commitments of any character, whether or not contingent, relating to the issued or unissued capital stock of Parent or obligating Parent to issue or sell any share of capital stock of, or other equity interest in, Parent. All shares of Parent Common Stock so subject to issuance, upon issuance in accordance with the terms and conditions specified in the instruments pursuant to which they are issuable, will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

The execution and delivery of this Agreement by Parent and Merger Sub and the consummation by Parent and Merger Sub of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate action and no other corporate proceedings on the part of Parent or Merger Sub are necessary to authorize this Agreement or to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement (other than the approval of the Share Issuance by the Parent stockholders as described in Section 4.17 hereof and the filing and recordation of appropriate merger documents as required by the CGCL).

Each of the consolidated financial statements (including, in each case, any notes thereto) contained in the Parent SEC Reports (the "Parent Financial Statements") was prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods indicated (except as may be indicated in the notes thereto or, in the case of unaudited statements, as permitted by Form 10-Q or 8-K promulgated by the SEC) and each presented fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Parent and its consolidated subsidiaries as at the respective dates thereof and for the respective periods indicated therein, except as otherwise noted therein (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal and recurring year-end adjustments which were not and are not expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Parent Material Adverse Effect). The balance sheet of Parent contained in the Parent SEC Reports as of September 30, 2001 is hereinafter referred to as the "Parent Balance Sheet."

Undisclosed Liabilities.

Absence of Litigation. There is no litigation, suit, claim, action, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the knowledge of Parent, threatened against Parent or any Parent Subsidiary, or any property or asset owned or used by Parent or any Parent Subsidiary or any person whose liability Parent or any Parent Subsidiary has or may have assumed, either contractually or by operation of Law, before any arbitrator or Governmental Entity (a "Parent Legal Proceeding") that could reasonably be expected, if resolved adversely to Parent, to (i) impair the operations of Parent or any Parent Subsidiary as currently conducted, including, without limitation, any claim of infringement of any intellectual property right, (ii) result in losses to Parent or any Parent Subsidiary in excess of $50,000, (iii) impair the ability of Parent or any Parent Subsidiary to perform its obligations under this Agreement or (iv) prevent, delay or make illegal the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

None of Parent or any Parent Subsidiary, the officers or directors thereof in their capacity as such, or any property or asset of Parent or any Parent Subsidiary is subject to any continuing order of, consent decree, settlement agreement or other similar written agreement with, or, to the knowledge of Parent, continuing investigation by, any Governmental Entity, or any order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award of any court, arbitrator or Governmental Entity. Neither Parent nor any Parent Subsidiary has any plans to initiate any material Parent Legal Proceeding against any third party.

Employee Benefit Plans; Labor Matters.

Schedule 4.12(a) of the Parent Disclosure Schedule lists all employee benefit plans (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) and all bonus, stock option, stock purchase, stock appreciation right, restricted stock, phantom stock, incentive, deferred compensation, retiree medical, disability or life insurance, cafeteria benefit, dependent care, disability, director or employee loan, fringe benefit, sabbatical, supplemental retirement, severance or other benefit plans, programs or arrangements, (whether legally enforceable or not, whether formal or informal and whether in writing or not) (each, a "Parent Plan," and collectively, the "Parent Plans") to which Parent or any Parent Subsidiary is a party, with respect to which Parent or any Parent Subsidiary has any obligation or which are maintained, contributed to or sponsored by Parent or any Parent Subsidiary for the benefit of any current or former employee, officer or director of Parent or any Parent Subsidiary

Each Parent Plan is in writing and Parent has made available to the Company a true and complete copy of each Parent Plan (or a written summary where the Parent Plan is not in writing) and a true and complete copy of each material document, if any, prepared in connection with each such Parent Plan, including, without limitation, and only if applicable, (i) a copy of each trust or other funding arrangement, (ii) each summary plan description and summary of material modifications, (iii) the two most recent annual reports (Form 5500 series and all schedules and financial statements attached thereto) required under ERISA or the Code, (iv) the most recently received Internal Revenue Service determination letter for each Parent Plan intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code, (v) the most recently prepared actuarial report and financial statement in connection with each such Parent Plan, (vi) any material correspondence with the Internal Revenue Service or the Department of Labor with respect to each such Parent Plan and (vii) each form of notice of grant and stock option agreement used to document Parent Options.

None of the Parent Plans is a Multi-employer Plan or a Multiple Employer Plan.

Except as otherwise required by ERISA, the Code or other applicable Federal, state, local or foreign law, none of the Parent Plans provides for the payment of separation, severance, termination or similar benefits to any person, or obligates Parent or any Parent Subsidiary to pay separation, severance, termination or similar-type benefits solely or partially as a result of any transaction contemplated by this Agreement or as a result of a "change in ownership or control," within the meaning of such term under Section 280G of the Code. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, either alone or together with another event, will (i) result in any payment (including, without limitation, severance, unemployment compensation, golden parachute, forgiveness of indebtedness or otherwise) becoming due under any Parent Plan, whether or not such payment is contingent, (ii) increase any benefits otherwise payable under any Parent Plan or other arrangement, (iii) result in the acceleration of the time of payment, vesting or funding of any benefits including, but not limited to, the acceleration of the vesting and exercisability of any Parent Option, whether or not contingent, or (iv) affect in any material respects any Parent Plan's current treatment under any Laws including any Tax or social contribution Law. No Parent Plan provides, or reflects or represents any liability to provide, retiree health, disability, or life insurance benefits to any person for any reason, except as may be required by COBRA, or other applicable Federal, state, local or foreign statute or other law, and Parent has never represented, promised or contracted (whether in oral or written form) to any employee (either individually or to employees as a group) or any other person that such employee or other person would be provided with retiree health, disability, or life insurance benefits, except to the extent required by applicable Federal, state, local or foreign statute or other law.

Each Parent Plan is now and always has been operated in accordance in all material respects with its terms and the requirements of all applicable Laws, regulations and rules promulgated thereunder including, without limitation, ERISA, COBRA, FMLA and the Code. Each of Parent and each Parent Subsidiary has substantially performed in all material respects all material obligations required to be performed by it under, is not in any respect in default under or in violation of, and has no knowledge of any default or violation by any party to, any Parent Plan. No action, claim or proceeding is pending or, to the knowledge of Parent, threatened with respect to any Parent Plan (other than claims for benefits in the ordinary course) and, to the knowledge of Parent, no fact or event exists which could give rise to any such action, claim or proceeding. To Parent's knowledge, neither Parent nor any ERISA Affiliate of Parent is subject to any penalty or Tax with respect to any Parent Plan under Section 502(i) of ERISA or Sections 4975 through 4980 of the Code.

Each of Parent and the Parent Subsidiaries possesses sufficient and legally enforceable rights (by ownership or license or otherwise) with respect to all Intellectual Property (as defined below) necessary to conduct their respective businesses, as previously or presently conducted, without Infringement, except for such items as have yet to be conceived or developed. "Parent Intellectual Property" means all Intellectual Property owned by or exclusively licensed to Parent or any Parent Subsidiary. With respect to patent rights, moral rights and Xxxx rights, the representations and warranties of this Section 4.15(a) are made only to Parent's and the Parent Subsidiaries' knowledge and without having conducted any special investigation or patent or trademark search.

To the extent included in Parent Intellectual Property, Section 4.15(b)(i) of the Parent Disclosure Schedule lists (by title, number, jurisdiction and owner) all patents and patent applications; all registered and unregistered Marks and Marks for which registration applications are pending; and all registered and material unregistered copyrights and mask works; and all other issuances, registrations, applications and the like with respect to those or any other IP Rights (collectively, "Parent Scheduled IP").

Except as disclosed on Section 4.15(c)(ii) of the Parent Disclosure Schedule, neither Parent nor any of the Parent Subsidiaries has entered into any agreement to indemnify, hold harmless or defend any other person with respect to any assertion of Infringement or warranting the lack thereof, other than indemnification provisions contained in standard forms of product licenses, distribution agreements, reseller agreements, end user licenses, or other transactions. Any standard form of employee agreement, consulting agreement, product license, distribution agreement, reseller agreement, end user license, or other standard form of agreement has been clearly identified as such and provided to the Company.

No event or circumstance has occurred or exists that (with or without notice, consent or the lapse of time) could reasonably be expected to result in, and neither the execution or delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will result in, (i) the breach or violation of any license, sublicense or other agreement required to be listed in Section 4.15(c)(i) of the Parent Disclosure Schedule, (ii) the loss or expiration of any material right or option by Parent or any of the Parent Subsidiaries (or the gain thereof by any third party) under any such license, sublicense or other agreement, or (iii) the release, disclosure or delivery to any third party of any Parent Source Code. Further, each license, sublicense and agreement required to be listed on Section 4.15(c)(i) of the Parent Disclosure Schedule shall be considered, for purposes of this Agreement, to be a "Parent Material Contract" (as such term is defined and used elsewhere in this Agreement).

Except as set forth in Section 4.15(e) of the Parent Disclosure Schedule, there is, to the knowledge of Parent and the Parent Subsidiaries as of the date of this Agreement, no unauthorized Use or disclosure, and no Infringement, of any Parent Intellectual Property by any third party, including, without limitation, any employee or former employee of Parent or any of the Parent Subsidiaries. Except as set forth in Section 4.15(e) of the Parent Disclosure Schedule, neither Parent nor any Parent Subsidiary has brought or threatened, at any time, any action, suit or proceeding against any third party for any Infringement of any Parent Intellectual Property or any material breach of any license, sublicense or agreement involving Parent Intellectual Property.

Except as set forth in Section 4.15(f) of the Parent Disclosure Schedule, Parent and the Parent Subsidiaries have taken reasonable steps to protect and preserve the confidentiality of each item of Parent Intellectual Property with respect to which Parent or any Parent Subsidiary wishes to maintain confidentiality and which is not otherwise disclosed in published patents or patent applications or registered copyrights ("Parent Confidential Information"). Except as set forth in Section 4.15(f) of the Parent Disclosure Schedule, all use by and disclosure to employees or others of Parent Confidential Information has been pursuant to the terms of valid and binding written confidentiality and nonuse/restricted-use agreements or agreements that contain similar obligations. Except as set forth in Section 4.15(f) of the Parent Disclosure Schedule, none of Parent or any of the Parent Subsidiaries has disclosed or delivered to any third party, or permitted the disclosure or delivery to any escrow agent or other third party, any Parent Source Code.

Except as set forth in Section 4.15(g) of the Parent Disclosure Schedule, Parent and the Parent Subsidiaries collectively own, exclusively, all Intellectual Property that is incorporated or embodied in, or that forms part of, any product or service previously offered or currently being offered or developed by Parent or any Parent Subsidiary. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) no current or former employee or contractor of Parent or any Parent Subsidiary has any right or interest to or in any such Intellectual Property, and (ii) neither Parent nor any Parent Subsidiary currently has any ongoing or future obligation to pay any license fee, royalty, or other payment to any person with respect to the manufacturing, distribution, modification, marketing, sale or license of any product or service previously offered or currently being offered or developed by Parent or any Parent Subsidiary. Except as set forth in Section 4.15(g) of the Parent Disclosure Schedule, each current and former employee and contractor of Parent or any Parent Subsidiary has executed and delivered (and to Parent's knowledge is in compliance with) an agreement in substantially the form of Parent's standard Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement (in the case of current or former employees) or Consulting Agreement (in the case of a contractor), which agreements provide valid written assignments to Parent or such Parent Subsidiary of all title and rights to Intellectual Property that is incorporated or embodied in, or that forms part of, any product or service previously offered or currently being offered or developed by Parent or any Parent Subsidiary, except for those current or former employees and contractors whose failure to execute and deliver such an agreement has not and would not have a Parent Material Adverse Effect.

Neither Parent nor any Parent Subsidiary has received any communication alleging or suggesting that Parent or any Parent Subsidiary has been or may be (whether in its past, current or proposed business or otherwise) engaged in, liable for or contributing to any Infringement, nor does Parent or any Parent Subsidiary have any reason to expect that any such communication will be forthcoming. To the knowledge of Parent and the Parent Subsidiaries, neither Parent nor any Parent Subsidiary has ever, at any time, infringed, misappropriated, or otherwise violated any IP Right of any other person, nor is there any basis for a claim that Parent or any Parent Subsidiary has infringed, misappropriated or otherwise violated any IP Right of any other person.

Except as set forth in Section 4.15(i) of the Parent Disclosure Schedule, none of Parent or the Parent Subsidiaries is aware that any of its employees or contractors is obligated under any agreement, commitment, judgment, decree, order or otherwise that would conflict with the business of Parent or any Parent Subsidiary or interfere with the use of his or her best efforts to perform his or her duties for Parent and the Parent Subsidiaries.

All Tax returns, statements, reports, declarations and other forms and documents (including without limitation estimated Tax returns and reports and material information returns and reports) required to be filed with any Tax Authority with respect to any Taxable period ending on or before the Closing, by or on behalf of Parent or any Parent Subsidiary (collectively, "Parent Tax Returns" and individually, a "Parent Tax Return"), have been or will be completed and filed when due (including any extensions of such due date) and all amounts shown due on such Parent Tax Returns on or before the Effective Time have been or will be paid on or before such date.

Parent has not incurred any material Tax liability since September 30, 2001 other than in the ordinary course of business and Parent has made adequate provisions for all Taxes since that date in accordance with U.S. GAAP on at least a quarterly basis. The adjusted basis of Parent's assets exceed the sum of its liabilities.

Parent has never been a member of an affiliated group of corporations, within the meaning of Section 1504 of the Code. Parent is not a party to any Tax exemption or other Tax-sharing agreement or subject to an order of a foreign government, and the consummation of the Merger will not have any adverse effect on the continued validity and effectiveness of any such Tax exemption or other Tax-sharing agreement or order.

All material elections with respect to Parent's Taxes made during the fiscal years ending December 31, 1998, 1999 and 2000 are reflected on the Parent Tax Returns for such periods, copies of which have been provided to Parent. After the date of this Agreement, no material election with respect to Taxes will be made without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Parent is not party to any joint venture, partnership, or other arrangement or contract which could be treated as a partnership for Federal income tax purposes. Parent is not currently and never has been subject to the reporting requirements of Section 6038A of the Code. There is no agreement, contract or arrangement to which Parent is a party that could, individually or collectively, result in the payment of any amount that would not be deductible by reason of Sections 280G (as determined without regard to Section 280G(b)(4)), 162 (other than 162(a)) or 404 of the Code. Parent is not a party to any Contract, nor does it have any obligations (current or contingent) to compensate any person for excise taxes paid pursuant to Section 4999 of the Code.

As used in this Section 4.16, the term "Parent" means Parent and any entity included in, or required under U.S. GAAP to be included in, any of the Parent Financial Statements.

Vote Required. The only vote of Parent stockholders required to approve the Share Issuance is the vote prescribed by Marketplace Rule 4350 of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (as such rule may be amended after the date hereof, the "NASD Rule")(the "Parent Stockholder Approval").

Assets; Absence of Liens and Encumbrances.

Neither Parent nor any of the Parent Subsidiaries owns any real property. Section 4.18 of the Parent Disclosure Schedule lists all real property leases to which Parent or any Parent Subsidiary is a party and each amendment thereto (all such leases, as amended, being the "Parent Leases"), and with respect to each such lease, the aggregate monthly rent payable thereunder and the expiration date thereof. All such current leases are in full force and effect, are valid and effective in accordance with their respective terms, and there is not, under any of such leases, any existing default or event of default (or event which with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default) that would give rise to a material claim. Neither Parent nor any of the Parent Subsidiaries have subleased or otherwise granted rights of use or occupancy of any of the premises subject to such leases to any other persons. Other than leaseholds created under the real property leases identified in Section 4.18(a) of the Parent Disclosure Schedule, Parent and the Parent Subsidiaries have no leasehold interest in any real property.

Parent and each Parent Subsidiary own, lease or have the legal right to use all of the material assets, including, without limitation, personal property (other than Intellectual Property, which is covered by Section 4.15 hereof), used or intended to be used in the conduct of the business of Parent or such Parent Subsidiary or otherwise owned, leased or used by Parent or such Parent Subsidiary and, with respect to contract rights, is a party to and enjoys the right to the benefits of all material contracts, agreements and other arrangements used or intended to be used by Parent or such Parent Subsidiary in or relating to the conduct of the business of Parent and each Parent Subsidiary (all such properties, assets and contract rights, together with the Parent Leases, being the "Parent Assets").

Parent and each Parent Subsidiary have good and marketable title to, or, in the case of leased or subleased Parent Assets, valid and subsisting leasehold interests in, all the Parent Assets, free and clear of all Liens except for (x) Liens for current Taxes not yet due and payable, and (y) Liens that have arisen in the ordinary course of business and that do not (in any case or in the aggregate) materially detract from the value, or materially interfere with the present or contemplated use, of the Parent Assets subject thereto or affected thereby. The equipment of Parent and the Parent Subsidiaries used in the operations of their business is, taken as a whole, in good operating condition and repair, ordinary wear and tear excepted.

Certain Interests. Except as disclosed in Parent SEC Reports, no event has occurred that would be required to be reported currently by Parent as a Certain Relationship or Related Transaction pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act.

Insurance Policies. True and complete copies of all insurance policies to which Parent or any Parent Subsidiary is a party or is a beneficiary or named insured such policies have been provided or made available to the Company. Except as set forth in Section 4.20 of the Parent Disclosure Schedule, there have been no material claim or series of claims made under such insurance policies within the past three years. All premiums due on such policies have been paid, and, to Parent's knowledge, Parent and each Parent Subsidiary is otherwise in compliance with the terms of such policies. Neither Parent nor any Parent Subsidiary has failed to give any notice or present any material claim under any such policy in a timely fashion, except where such failure would not prejudice Parent's or any Parent Subsidiary's ability to make such a claim. Such insurance to the date hereof has been maintained in full force and effect and not been canceled or changed, except to extend the maturity dates thereof. Neither Parent nor any Parent Subsidiary has any knowledge of any actual or possible (i) cancellation or threatened termination of any insurance policy, (ii) refusal of any coverage or rejection of any claim under any insurance policy or (iii) material premium increase with respect to any insurance policy.

Brokers. No broker, finder or investment banker (other than the Parent Financial Advisor (as defined in Section 4.27)) is entitled to any brokerage, finder's or other fee or commission in connection with the origination, negotiation or execution of this Agreement, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement based upon arrangements made by or on behalf of Parent or any Parent Subsidiary.

Each of Parent and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to become effective as promptly as practicable, and prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain all applicable approvals needed to ensure that the Parent Common Stock to be issued in the Merger will be registered or qualified as may be required under the securities law of every jurisdiction of the United States in which any registered holder of Company Shares has an address of record on the record date for determining the shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Company Shareholders' Meeting.

As promptly as practicable, but in no event later than the third business day, after the Registration Statement shall have become effective, each of Parent and the Company shall mail or cause to be mailed the Joint Proxy Statement to their respective stockholders. The Registration Statement shall register for resale the shares of Parent Common Stock received in the Merger by each affiliate (within the meaning of Rule 145 of the Securities Act) of the Company that is not an affiliate (within the meaning of Rule 144 of the Securities Act) of Parent immediately following the Effective Time, and shall include the information required by Item 7 of Form S-4 and Item 507 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act for the benefit of such affiliates as selling stockholders of the number of shares of Parent Common Stock received in the Merger.

Employee Benefits Matters.

All employees of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries shall continue in their existing benefit plans until such time as, in Parent's sole discretion, an orderly transition can be accomplished to employee benefit plans and programs maintained by Parent for its and its affiliates' employees in the United States. Parent shall take such reasonable actions, to the extent permitted by Parent's benefits programs, as are necessary to allow eligible employees of the Company to participate in the health, welfare and other benefit programs of Parent or alternative benefits programs in the aggregate that are substantially equivalent to those applicable to employees of Parent in similar functions and positions on similar terms (it being understood that equity incentive plans are not considered employee benefits).

The Company hereby represents to Parent that no claim for indemnification has been made by any director or officer of the Company and, to the knowledge of the Company, no facts exist that would serve as a valid legal basis for any such claim for indemnification.

From the Effective Time until the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, Parent shall maintain in effect, for the benefit of the Indemnified Persons with respect to claims arising from facts or events that occurred prior to the Effective Time, the existing policy of directors' and officers' liability insurance maintained by Parent for the benefit of its current officers and directors as of the date of this Agreement (the "Existing Policy") or a new policy providing comparable coverage containing terms and conditions, taken as a whole, that are no less advantageous to the Indemnified Persons than the terms of conditions in the Existing Policy would be to the Indemnified Persons if such policy covered such persons; provided, however, that Parent shall not be required to pay annual premiums for the Existing Policy (or for any combination of the Existing Policy and any substitute or additional policies) in excess of 150% of the annual premium payable under the Existing Policy as of the date hereof. In the event any future annual premiums for the Existing Policy (or any substitute policies) exceed 150% of such current annual premium, Parent shall be entitled to reduce the amount of coverage of the Existing Policy (or any substitute policies) to the amount of coverage that can be obtained for a premium equal to 150% of such current annual premium.

This Section 6.12 is intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, the officers and directors and their heirs and personal representatives and shall be binding on the Surviving Corporation and its successors and assigns.

"Section 16 Information" shall mean information regarding the Company Insiders, the number of shares of the Company Stock held by each such Company Insider and expected to be exchanged for Parent Common Stock in connection with the Merger, and the number and description of the Company Options held by each such Company Insider and expected to be converted into options for Parent Common Stock in connection with the Merger.

Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the parties hereto (whether by operation of Law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other parties, and any purported assignment (whether by operation of Law or otherwise) in violation of this Section 9.05 shall be null and void. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Except for the provisions of Sections 6.12 and 6.13, notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to confer on any person other than the parties hereto or their respective successors and assigns any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement.

Governing Law; Forum. Except for the mandatorily applicable provisions of the CGCL, this Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts executed in and to be performed in that state and without regard to any applicable conflicts of law. In any action between the parties hereto arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement: (i) each of the parties irrevocably and unconditionally consents and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of either the state courts located in Santa Xxxxx County, California or the United States District Court for the Northern District of California and (ii) each of the parties irrevocably consents to service of process by first class certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid.

Time of the Essence. For purposes of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, time is of the essence.

Waiver of Jury Trial. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives any and all right to trial by jury in any Legal Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Each party shall pay its own legal fees and expenses incurred in any such action or suit.

Headings. The descriptive headings contained in this Agreement are included for convenience of reference only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile transmission) in two or more counterparts, each of which when executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the Exhibits, the Schedules, the Company Disclosure Schedule and the Parent Disclosure Schedule) and the Non- Disclosure Agreement constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings among the parties with respect thereto.
