for all purposes reasonably related to this Agreement or any of the documents

reasonable efforts to assist Transferor and Parent, at no cost to Transferor or
Parent, on the one hand, or Acquirer, on the other (other than reasonable
amounts of time during regular business hours of certain of the Transferred
Employees), in connection with any requests for information in connection with
(i) the Consigned Items and (ii) the Accounts Receivables. Through
December 31, 2009, Acquirer shall permit up to two of Parent’s employees or
temporary workers to work at the Leased Property during regular business hours
to work on Parent’s or Transferor’s Accounts Receivables collections, perform a
review of the Consigned Items, or work on transition matters.
Section
5.2. Severability. With
respect to any provision of this Article V finally determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, such court shall have jurisdiction
to reform such provision so that it is enforceable to the maximum extent
permitted by law, and the parties shall abide by such court’s
determination. In the event that any provision of this Article V
cannot be reformed, such provision shall be deemed to be severed from this
Agreement, but every other provision of Article V of this Agreement shall remain
in full force and effect.
Section
5.3. Further
Assurances. On and after the Closing Date, Transferor shall
prepare, execute and deliver, at Transferor’s expense, such further instruments
of conveyance, sale, assignment or transfer, and shall take or cause to be taken
such other or further action as Acquirer’s counsel shall reasonably request at
any time or from time to time in order to perfect, confirm or evidence in
Acquirer title to all or any part of the Property or to consummate, in any other
manner, the terms and conditions of this Agreement. On and after the
Closing Date, Acquirer shall prepare, execute and deliver, at Acquirer’s
expense, such further instruments, and shall take or cause to be taken such
other or further action as Transferor’s counsel shall reasonably request at any
time or from time to time in order to confirm or evidence Acquirer’s assumption
of the Assumed Liabilities or to consummate, in any other manner, the terms and
conditions of this Agreement.

Section
5.4. Announcements. Except
as required by law and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission or any stock exchange, neither party to this Agreement shall issue
any press releases or make any public announcements with respect to this
Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without the written consent of
the other party hereto, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed. Prior to issuing any press release or making any public
announcements, the disclosing party shall give the other party a copy of the
text of their proposed disclosure and a reasonable opportunity to comment on
it. Subject to the obligations of Parent under applicable Securities
and Exchange Commission or stock exchange rules and regulations, Acquirer and
Transferor shall jointly agree on the press release or other public announcement

disseminated promptly following the execution and delivery
hereof. Transferor shall also prepare and deliver electronic
correspondence to customers of the Business describing the terms and conditions

funds as payment for an Account Receivable, and in any event within five (5)
business days after such receipt, Acquirer shall remit such payment to
Transferor or Parent. Should a customer of both Transferor and
Acquirer remit a payment without identifying the invoice(s) to which it should
be applied, the payment shall be applied to the oldest unpaid
invoice. Promptly upon the receipt by Transferor or Parent of good
funds as payment for any account receivable of the Business that is not an
Account Receivable or payment for a Consigned Item, and in any event within five
(5) business days after such receipt, Tranferor or Parent shall remit such
payment to Acquirer.

Annual Meeting of Stockholder’s for its fiscal year ended July 31, 2010, Parent
shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to seek stockholder approval to
change its name to a form that does not include, “Del,” “Del Medical,” or
“Universal.” If Parent is unable to receive stockholder approval,
Parent shall not use the names “Del,” “Del Medical,” or “Universal,” in any way
which is competitive with Acquirer. Parent and Transferor shall also
take such actions as may be requisite to make available to Acquirer, for its
exclusive use, “Del,” “Del Medical,” or “Universal.”
Section
5.7. Commercially Reasonable
Efforts. Acquirer shall, for the 12-month consignment period
following the Closing Date, use its commercially reasonable efforts to take, or
cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things

Items.

representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of UMG and Acquirer, on

Section

to the limitations set forth in this Article VII, Parent and Transferor, jointly
and severally, shall indemnify and hold harmless Acquirer and UMG from and

actions, judgments or causes of action, assessments, costs and expenses
including, without limitation, interest, penalties, reasonable attorneys’ fees,
any and all reasonable expenses incurred in investigating, preparing or
defending against any litigation, commenced or threatened, or any claim
whatsoever, and any and all amounts paid in settlement of any claim or
litigation (collectively, “Damages”), asserted against, resulting to, imposed
upon, or incurred or suffered by UMG and Acquirer, directly or indirectly, as a
result of or arising from the following (individually an “Indemnifiable Claim”
and collectively “Indemnifiable Claims” when used in the context of Acquirer as
the Indemnified Party (as hereinafter defined)):
(i) Any
Excluded Liability or other liability imposed upon Acquirer and UMG as
transferee of the Business or the Property, including without limitation, or
otherwise relating to the Business prior to the Closing Date, except to the
extent such liability has been assumed by UMG and Acquirer pursuant to Article
II hereof; and
(b) Subject
to the limitations set forth in this Article VII, UMG and Acquirer, jointly and
severally, shall indemnify and hold harmless Parent and Transferor from and
against any and all Damages asserted against, resulting to, imposed upon, or
incurred or suffered by Parent or Transferor, directly or indirectly, as a

with respect to the Business after the Closing Date;
13

Parent, provided however, subject to Section 7.4 below and excluding legal fees
and expenses incurred by Parent or Transferor, the full amount of which may be
recovered, the maximum amount that UMG or Acquirer shall be liable to Parent or
Transferor in connection with any such Transferred Employee pursuant to this

Employee on Schedule 7.2(b)(iii).
(c) For
purposes of this Article VII, all Damages shall be computed net of any insurance
proceeds actually received by the Indemnified Party (as hereinafter defined)
with respect thereto that reduces the Damages that would otherwise be sustained;
provided, however, that if payment is made by the Indemnifying Party (as
hereinafter defined) to the Indemnified Party regarding such Damages and then
subsequent to such payment, the Indemnified Party also receives insurance
proceeds relating to such Damages, the Indemnified Party shall return to the
Indemnifying Party, the amount paid by the Indemnified Party in relation to such
Damages, up to the lesser of (i) the amount paid by the Indemnifying Party or
(ii) the amount of the insurance proceeds.
(d) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in no event shall any
party hereto have any liability hereunder to any other party hereto for
consequential, indirect or incidental damages of any kind or nature or lost
profits.
Section
7.3. Limitations on
Indemnification. Rights to indemnification hereunder are
subject to the following limitations:
(a) As
to Parent and Transferor, on the one hand, and UMG and Acquirer, on the other,
the obligation to indemnify provided herein with respect to any matter for which
indemnification is permissible under this Article VII herein shall survive the
Closing Date for a period of twelve (12) months.
(b) If,
prior to the termination of any obligation to indemnify as provided for herein,
written notice of a claimed breach is given by the party seeking indemnification
including in detail the basis therefor (the “Indemnified Party”) to the party
from whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) or a suit or
action based upon a claimed breach is commenced against the Indemnified Party,
the Indemnified Party shall not be precluded from pursuing such claimed breach
or suit or action, or from recovering from the Indemnifying Party (whether
through the courts or otherwise) on the claim, suit or action, by reason of the
termination otherwise provided for above.
Section
7.4. Procedure for
Indemnification with Respect to Third-Party Claims.
The
Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice of any
third party claim, demand, assessment, suit or proceeding to which the indemnity
set forth in Section 10.2 applies, which notice to be effective must describe
such claim in reasonable detail (the “Indemnification
Notice”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Party shall
not have any obligation to give any notice of any assertion of liability by a
third party unless such assertion is in writing and the rights of the
Indemnified Party to be indemnified hereunder in respect of any third party
claim shall not be adversely affected by its failure to give notice pursuant to
the foregoing unless and, if so, only to the extent that, the Indemnifying Party
is materially prejudiced thereby. The Indemnifying Party shall have
the right to control the defense or settlement of any such action subject to the
provisions set forth below, but the Indemnified Party may, at its election,
participate in the defense of any action or proceeding at its sole cost and
expense. Should the Indemnifying Party fail timely to defend any such
action (except for failure resulting from the Indemnified Party’s failure to
timely give the Indemnification Notice), then, in addition to any other remedy,
the Indemnified Party may settle or defend such action or proceeding through
counsel of its own choosing and may recover from the Indemnifying Party the
amount of such settlement, demand, or any judgment or decree and all of its
costs and expenses, including reasonable fees and disbursements of
counsel.
14
Section
7.5. Procedure for
Indemnification with Respect to Non-Third-Party Claims. In the
event that the Indemnified Party asserts the existence of an Indemnifiable Claim
(but excluding claims resulting from the assertion of liability by third
parties), it shall give prompt written notice to the Indemnifying Party
specifying in reasonable detail and to the extent known to it the nature and
amount of the claim asserted (the “Non-Third Party Claim Indemnification
Notice”). If the Indemnifying Party, within 30 days (or such greater
time as may be necessary for the Indemnifying Party to investigate such
Indemnifiable Claim not to exceed 60 days), after receiving the Non-Third Party
Claim Indemnification Notice from the Indemnified Party, shall not give written
notice to the Indemnified Party announcing its intent to contest such assertion
of the Indemnified Party (the “Contest Notice”), such assertion shall be deemed
accepted and the amount of claim shall be deemed a valid Indemnifiable Claim.
During the time period set forth in the preceding sentence, the Indemnified
Party shall cooperate fully with the Indemnifying Party in respect of such
Indemnifiable Claim. In the event, however, that the Indemnifying
Party contests the assertion of a claim by giving a Contest Notice to the
Indemnified Party within said period, then if the parties hereto, acting in good
faith, cannot reach agreement with respect to such claim within 10 days after
such notice, such parties may seek any remedy available thereto at law or in
equity.
Section
7.6. Cooperation in the Defense
of Claims. In the event that an Indemnifiable Claim is
asserted, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall each cooperate
in all reasonable respects with the other. Such cooperation shall
include making available on reasonable notice during normal business hours at
the cost of the Indemnifying Party such business records as relate to the
Business and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and suitable
personnel with knowledge of the foregoing.
