Revenues for such calendar year and Buyer's determination of
the Deferred Payments payable or paid to Seller corresponding

on behalf of Buyer by the chief financial officer of Buyer, to
the effect that, to the best of such officer's Knowledge after
due inquiry, said determinations were made in accordance with
the applicable provisions of this Agreement.
4
(d) OPERATION OF BUSINESS IN COMMERCIALLY REASONABLE MANNER.
During the period in which any portion of the Deferred
Payments is payable, Buyer shall conduct the Business in a
commercially reasonable manner and shall not take, or allow
its affiliates to take, any action intended to minimize or
diminish the amount of the Deferred Payments payable to
Seller. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
Buyer will not: (i) divert the Revenues of the Business into
any of Buyer's other businesses; (ii) sell or otherwise
transfer a controlling interest in the Business or the
Purchased Assets nor enter into any merger, consolidation,
recapitalization, sale or transfer of substantial assets or
sale, exchange or transfer of capital stock or other
securities or other business combination (by operation of law
or otherwise) affecting the Business or the Purchased Assets,
unless the surviving entity from such transaction expressly
agrees, in writing, to assume Buyer's obligation in respect to
the payment of the Deferred Payments; or (iii) take any other
action that could reasonably be expected to degrade the
reputation of the Business or the amount of Revenues earned
following the Closing.
(e) AUDIT. For a period of two (2) years following the expiration
of each calendar quarter (or portion thereof) during which
this Agreement is in effect, Seller may deliver to Buyer a
written notice requesting that independent certified public
accountants selected by Seller and reasonably acceptable to
Buyer review Buyer's determinations of Revenues and the amount
of the corresponding Deferred Payments for a given quarter or
quarters. Buyer shall allow, and cooperate with, such auditors
to prepare, within sixty (60) days after the delivery of such
written notice to Buyer, during normal business hours and not
more than one (1) time per calendar year, a report of the
audit of Buyer's determination of Revenues and the amount of
the corresponding Deferred Payments for a given quarter or
quarters to the effect that said determinations were made in
accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement.
In the event that the audit reveals that any Deferred Payment
hereunder was less than the amount actually due, Buyer shall
deliver to Seller the entire shortfall amount within ten (10)
days after the completion of the audit; provided, further that
in the event any Deferred Payment hereunder was less than the
amount actually due and payable by five percent (5%) or more,
then all costs of the audit shall be borne by Buyer. Otherwise
Seller shall bear the cost of the audit, without limitation to
Buyer's obligation to pay any shortfall. In the event that the
audit reveals that any Deferred Payments hereunder exceeded
the amount actually due, Seller shall reimburse the Buyer for
the entire overpayment within ten (10) days after completion
of the audit. Buyer shall keep, and shall cause each Person
which shall use or have access to the Purchased Assets,
including any applicable licensees, sublicensees and
affiliates thereof, to keep full and accurate books of account
containing all particulars that may be necessary for the
purpose of calculating the Deferred Payments. Such books of
account, with all necessary supporting data, shall be kept at
their respective principal places of business.
(f) PURCHASE PRICE ADJUSTMENT. The parties acknowledge that
$505,499 of the Purchase Price represents Seller's good faith
estimate of the direct cost of Seller's raw materials,
work-in-process and finished goods inventory including all
5
units on loan (collectively, "INVENTORY") as of the Closing,
as set forth on SCHEDULE 1.02(E) attached hereto. Promptly
after the second week following the Closing, Seller shall
prepare in good faith and deliver to Buyer a revised and
updated Schedule 1.02(E) (the "AMENDED INVENTORY SCHEDULE")
and any additional Inventory set forth therein. If the
aggregate value of such Inventory set forth in the Amended
Inventory Schedule is less than $505,499, then, on the date
that Seller delivers to Buyer the Amended Inventory Schedule,
the difference shall be credited against the principal amount
of the Promissory Note. If the aggregate value of such
Inventory set forth in the Amended Inventory Schedule is more
than $505,499, then, on the date that Seller delivers to Buyer
the Amended Inventory Schedule, the outstanding principal
amount of the Promissory Note shall be increased by the
difference in the aggregate value of such Inventory, and the
parties hereby agree to amend the Promissory Note and take any
other necessary actions to reflect such difference.

Section 4.02 INDEMNIFICATION BY SELLER. Except as hereinafter set forth, Seller
shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and its successors and assigns and its
and their respective officers, directors, shareholders, employees and agents,
against, and in respect of, any and all damages, claims, losses, liabilities and
expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable legal, accounting and other
expenses (collectively, "DAMAGES"), which may arise out of: (a) any
misrepresentation or other breach or violation of this Agreement by Seller; (b)
Seller's ownership or operation of the Purchased Assets prior to the Closing,
other than the Assumed Liabilities; or (c) any product liability claim or other
third party claim relating to the Products, whether presently in existence or
arising hereafter from acts, events, conditions or circumstances existing or
occurring prior to the Closing Date.
Section 4.03 INDEMNIFICATION BY BUYER. Except as hereinafter set forth, Buyer
shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its successors and assigns and its
respective officers, directors, shareholders, employees and agents, against, and
in respect of, any and all Damages, which may arise out of: (a) any
misrepresentation or other breach or violation of this Agreement by Buyer; (b)
Buyer's ownership or operation of the Purchased Assets after the Closing; (c)
the Assumed Liabilities; or (d) any product liability claim or other third party
claim relating to the Products, whether presently in existence or arising
hereafter from acts, events, conditions or circumstances existing or occurring
on or after the Closing Date.
Section 4.04 CLAIMS FOR INDEMNIFICATION.
(a) GENERAL. The parties intend that all indemnification claims be
made as promptly as practicable by the party seeking
indemnification (the "INDEMNIFIED PARTY"). Whenever any claim
arises for indemnification hereunder the Indemnified Party
will promptly notify the party from whom indemnification is
sought (the "INDEMNIFYING PARTY") of the claim and, when
known, the facts constituting the basis for such claim. The
failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve
the Indemnifying Party of any liability that it may have to
the Indemnified Party except to the extent the Indemnifying
Party demonstrates that the defense of such action is
prejudiced thereby.
12
(b) CLAIMS BY THIRD PARTIES. With respect to claims made by third
parties, if the Indemnifying Party admits to the Indemnified
Party and agrees in writing that it will be obligated under
the terms of its indemnity hereunder in connection with such
claim, the Indemnifying Party will be entitled to assume
control of the defense of such action or claim, at its sole
expense, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
Indemnified Party; provided, however, that:
(i) the Indemnified Party will be entitled to participate
in the defense of such claim and to employ counsel at
its own expense to assist in the handling of such
claim;
(ii) no Indemnifying Party will consent to the entry of
any judgment or enter into any settlement that: (A)
does not include as an unconditional term thereof the
giving by each claimant or plaintiff to each
Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in
respect of such claim; or (B) would result in the
imposition against the Indemnified Party of
injunctive or other equitable relief; or (C) could
materially interfere with the business, operations or
assets of the Indemnified Party; and
(iii) if the Indemnifying Party does not assume control of
the defense of such claim in accordance with the
foregoing provisions within ten (10) business days
after receipt of notice of the claim, the Indemnified
Party will have the right to defend such claim in
such manner as it may deem appropriate at the
reasonable cost and expense of the Indemnifying
Party, and the Indemnifying Party will promptly
reimburse the Indemnified Party therefor in
accordance with this Section 4.04; provided that the
Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party will not
consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into
any settlement without the written consent of the
Indemnifying Party, which consent will not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed, and that: (A) does
not include as an unconditional term thereof the
giving by each claimant or plaintiff to each
Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in
respect of such claim; or (B) would result in the
imposition against the Indemnified Party of
injunctive or other equitable relief; or (C) could
materially interfere with the business, operations or
assets of the Indemnified Party; provided, further,
that if the Indemnified Party assumes the defense of
such claim, the Indemnified Party will keep the
Indemnifying Party reasonably informed of the
progress of any such defense, compromise or
settlement and will consult with and consider
reasonable advice from the Indemnifying Party.
Section 4.05 INDEMNIFICATION LIMITS.
(a) Except for fraud and Buyer's obligations under Sections 1.03,
1.05 and 4.06, the indemnification provisions set forth in
this Article 4 shall be the exclusive remedy for the
Indemnified Party for a breach of any representation, warranty
13
or covenant by the Indemnifying Party and shall be in lieu of
any rights the Indemnified Party may have under law or in
equity with respect to any such breaches or otherwise. Except
for fraud and Buyer's obligations under Sections 1.03, 1.05
and 4.06, the liability of each party as an Indemnifying Party
hereunder shall not exceed $1,000,000 in the aggregate.
(b) Except for fraud and Buyer's obligations under Sections 1.03,
1.05 and 4.06 and except for Seller's obligations under
Section 1.08, none of Seller or Buyer, as the case may be,
will be entitled to indemnification for any Damages under this
Article 4 unless the aggregate of all Damages is more than
Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) (the "BASKET AMOUNT"). When
the aggregate amount of all such Damages hereunder equals or
exceeds the Basket Amount, Buyer or Seller, as the case may
be, will be entitled to full indemnification of all claims,
including the Basket Amount. The parties hereto agree that the
Basket Amount is not a deductible amount, nor that the Basket
Amount will be deemed to be a definition of "material" for any
purpose in this Agreement.
Section 4.06 NONSOLICITATION BY BUYER AND ITS AFFILIATES.
(a) In addition to Seller's other remedies set forth in this
Agreement, in the event of Buyer's breach of its obligations
under Section 1.05, Seller shall have the right, but not the
obligation, to require Buyer and its Affiliates to cease
contracting or doing business with, contacting or attempting
to contact, diverting or attempting to divert, soliciting or
attempting to solicit, and interfering or attempting to
interfere with any (i) customer (or their respective
Affiliates) of the Products and (ii) Person employed by Seller
or any of its Affiliates who has conducted or conducts
business with such customer.
(b) It is the understanding of the parties that the scope of the
covenants contained in this SECTION 4.06 are necessary to
protect the rights of Seller in the event of Buyer's breach of
its obligations under Section 1.05. It is the parties'
intention that these covenants be enforced to the greatest
extent (but to no greater extent) in time, area, and degree of
participation as is permitted by the law of that jurisdiction
whose law is found to be applicable to any acts in breach of
these covenants.
(c) The parties agree that, in the event of breach or threatened
breach of Buyer's covenants in this SECTION 4.06, the damage
or imminent damage to Seller will be irreparable and extremely
difficult to estimate, making any remedy at law or in damages
inadequate. Accordingly, the parties agree that Seller shall
be entitled to injunctive relief against Buyer in the event of
any breach or threatened breach of any of such covenants by
Buyer, in addition to any other relief (including damages)
available to Seller under this Agreement or under applicable
law.

amended or waived if, and only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and
signed, in the case of an amendment, by all parties hereto, or in the case of a
waiver, by the party against whom the waiver is to be effective. No waiver by a
party of any default, misrepresentation or breach of warranty or covenant
hereunder, whether intentional or not, shall be deemed to extend to any prior or
subsequent default, misrepresentation or breach of warranty or covenant
hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising by virtue of any prior or
subsequent occurrence. No failure or delay by a party in exercising any right,
power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any
single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement and in closing and carrying out the transactions contemplated hereby

provision hereof is intended to confer upon any Person other than the parties
hereto any rights or remedies hereunder.
Section 5.09 SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held by a
court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, unenforceable or void, the
remainder of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect only if, after
excluding the portion deemed to be unenforceable, the remaining terms shall
provide for the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby in
