AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER, (this "Agreement") dated as of October 7, 2002, among OAK TECHNOLOGY, INC. ("Parent"), a Delaware corporation, OPTIC ACQUISITION CORP. ("Merger Sub"), a Delaware corporation, and TERALOGIC, INC. (the "Company"), a Delaware corporation.

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company intend to effect a merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the "Merger") in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL") and upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, and upon consummation of the Merger, Merger Sub will cease to exist, and the Company will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent;

WHEREAS, The Board of Directors of the Company has (i) determined that the Merger is fair to, and in the best interests of, the Company and its stockholders, (ii) approved this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement (as defined below), the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement and (iii) resolved to recommend to the stockholders of the Company that they adopt and approve this Agreement, the Merger and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby;

WHEREAS, to induce Parent and Merger Sub to enter into this Agreement, simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company and certain stockholders of the Company are entering into an agreement (the "Voting Agreement") with Parent and Merger Sub pursuant to which such stockholders will agree to vote to approve this Agreement and to take certain actions in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

WHEREAS, to induce the Company to enter into this Agreement, simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Parent and the Company are entering into a loan agreement and related documents (collectively, the "Loan Agreement") pursuant to which Parent shall make certain loans to the Company;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, and intending to be legally bound hereby, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

THE MERGER

Section 1.1 The Merger.

(a) Surviving Corporation. At the Effective Time (as defined in Section 1.2 hereof), and subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the DGCL, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall

cease, and the Company shall continue as the surviving corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. The Company as the surviving corporation after the Merger is sometimes referred to in this Agreement as the "Surviving Corporation."

(b) Closing. Unless this Agreement shall have been terminated and the transactions contemplated shall have been abandoned pursuant to Article VII and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VI, the consummation of the Merger will take place as promptly as practicable (and in any event within two business days) after satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VI, at the offices of Pillsbury Winthrop LLP, unless another date, time or place is agreed to in writing by the parties hereto (the "Closing Date").

(c) Escrow. At the Effective Time (as hereinafter defined), Parent shall withhold (i) ten percent (10%) of the aggregate Cash Consideration (as defined in Section 1.6(c)) plus (ii) an additional amount equal to fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) (collectively, the "Escrow Amount") payable to the Stockholders pursuant to Section 1.6 of this Agreement (the "Escrow Account"), on a pro rata basis among all Stockholders in proportion to the aggregate amount of Cash Consideration each Stockholder would otherwise be entitled to receive, and shall instead deliver the Escrow Amount to an escrow agent (the "Escrow Agent"). The Escrow Amount shall be held pursuant to the provisions of an escrow agreement substantially in the form attached as Exhibit 6.1(e) (the "Escrow Agreement"). The Escrow Amount will be available to compensate Parent for certain of the damages as provided in Article VIII. On the date that is six (6) months after the Effective Time, the Escrow Agent will be directed to release an Escrow Amount equal to the lesser of: (i) fifty percent (50%) of the total Escrow Amount; and (ii) the total Escrow Amount minus the Escrow Amount which has been used (or reserved for such use) to compensate Parent for damages under Article VIII. To the extent that there is an Escrow Amount remaining in the Escrow Account which has not been reserved for claims under the Escrow Agreement on the date that is twelve (12) months after the Effective Time, such Escrow Amount will be released.

(d) Stockholder Representative. All of the stockholders of the Company, by virtue of their approval of the Agreement, will be deemed to have irrevocably constituted and appointed, effective as of the Effective Time, Xxx X. Xxxxxx (together with his permitted successors, the "Stockholder Representative"), as their true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact to enter into any agreement in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any transactions contemplated by the Escrow Agreement, to exercise all or any of the powers, authority and discretion conferred on him, her or it under any such agreement, to waive or amend any terms and conditions of any such agreement, to give and receive notices on their behalf and to be their exclusive representative with respect to any matter, suit, claim, action or proceeding arising with respect to any transaction contemplated by any such agreement, including, without limitation, the defense, settlement or compromise of any claim, action or proceeding for which Parent or the Merger Sub may be entitled to indemnification and the Stockholder Representative agrees to act as, and to undertake the duties and responsibilities of, such agent and attorney-in-fact. This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable. The Stockholder Representative shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by him, her or it in connection with his, her or its obligations under this Agreement (i) with the consent of the Preferred Stockholders (as

defined below) owning at least a majority in voting power of the outstanding Preferred Stock (as defined below) of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time (as defined below), voting together as a single class with each share of such Preferred Stock voting on an as-if converted basis (excluding non-voting Preferred Stock) or (ii) in the absence of his own gross negligence or willful misconduct. If the Stockholder Representative shall be unable or unwilling to serve in such capacity, his successor shall be named by those Preferred Stockholders owning at least a majority in voting power of the outstanding Preferred Stock of the Company at immediately prior to Effective Time, voting together as a single class with each share of such Preferred Stock voting on an as-if converted basis in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.5 of the Escrow Agreement.

Section 1.2 Effective Time. As promptly as practicable after the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VI, the parties hereto shall cause the Merger to be consummated by filing a duly executed and delivered Certificate of Merger in substantially the form of Exhibit 1.2 (the "Certificate of Merger") with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in accordance with the relevant provisions of the DGCL. The Merger shall become effective at such time as the Certificate of Merger has been filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, or at such time thereafter as is provided in the Certificate of Merger (the "Effective Time").

Section 1.3 Effect of the Merger. At the Effective Time, the effect of the Merger shall be as provided in this Agreement, the Certificate of Merger and applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, all the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities and duties of the Company and Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation.

Section 1.4 Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws of Surviving Corporation.

(a) Unless otherwise determined by Parent prior to the Effective Time, at the Effective Time, the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be amended and restated to read as did the Certificate of Incorporation of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that the name of the Surviving Corporation shall be "OPTICAL DIGITAL VIDEO GROUP, INC."

(b) Unless otherwise determined by Parent prior to the Effective Time, the By-laws of the Surviving Corporation, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be amended and restated to read as set forth in the By-laws of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that the name of the Surviving Corporation shall be "OPTICAL DIGITAL VIDEO GROUP, INC."

Section 1.5 Directors and Officers of Surviving Corporation. 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 Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws 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.

Section 1.6 Conversion of Shares.

(a) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or any Stockholder of the Company, the Cash Consideration (as defined in Section 1.6(c)), less the Escrow Amount, shall be paid as follows:

(i) Each share of the Company's common stock, $0.001 par value per share ("Common Stock") issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Merger shall automatically be canceled and extinguished and shall no longer represent any interest in the Company nor any interest in the Surviving Corporation, Parent or Merger Sub (the holders of Common Stock are sometimes herein collectively referred to as the "Common Stockholders"). After payment of the aggregate Cash Consideration (as defined herein) to the Preferred Stockholders in accordance with this Section 1.6 and in accordance with the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, no portion of the Cash Consideration will remain available for distribution to the Common Stockholders, and accordingly, each share of Common Stock shall receive $0.00.

(ii) Each share of the Company's Series A Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share ("Series A Preferred Stock"), Series B Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share ("Series B Preferred Stock"), Series C Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share ("Series C Preferred Stock"), Series D Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share ("Series D Preferred Stock"), Series E-1 Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share ("Series E-1 Preferred Stock"), Series E-2 Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share ("Series E-2 Preferred Stock"), Series E-3 Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share ("Series E-3 Preferred Stock"), Series E-4 Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share ("Series E-4 Preferred Stock"), Series E-5 Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share ("Series E-5 Preferred Stock") and Series E-6 Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share ("Series E-6 Preferred Stock"; the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock, Series E-1 Preferred Stock, Series E-2 Preferred Stock, Series E-3 Preferred Stock, Series E-4 Preferred Stock, Series E-5 Preferred Stock and Series E-6 Preferred Stock are sometimes hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Preferred Stock"), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Merger (each such share of Common Stock and Preferred Stock is referred to herein individually as a "Share" and collectively as the "Shares"), other than Shares held in treasury or which constitute Dissenting Shares (as defined in Section 1.6(d) below), shall automatically be canceled and extinguished and converted into the right to receive an amount equal to the corresponding purchase price of such Preferred Stock, as set forth in Exhibit 1.6(a)(ii) (the holders of Preferred Stock are sometimes herein collectively referred to as the "Preferred Stockholders" and collectively with the Common Stockholders, the "Stockholders"); provided, that if the Cash Consideration distributed to the Preferred Stockholders is insufficient to permit the receipt of such Preferred Stockholders' purchase price, the Preferred Stockholders will be entitled to receive their pro rata share of the Cash Consideration available in proportion to the respective amounts which would be received by them if their respective amounts were paid in full.

(b) At the Effective Time, each Share held in treasury immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, automatically be canceled and retired and all rights in respect thereof shall cease to exist.

(c) The total cash consideration is Thirty-Eight Million Two Hundred Sixty-Nine Thousand Six Hundred Ninety-One Dollars ($38,269,691) (the "Cash Consideration").

(d) Any Shares with respect to which dissenters' rights have been established in accordance with the DGCL or the California Corporations Code, as applicable (the "Dissenting Shares"), shall not be converted into a right to receive Cash Consideration pursuant to this Section 1.6 but, at the Effective Time, shall be converted into the right to receive such consideration as may be determined to be due with respect to such Dissenting Shares in accordance with the applicable provisions of the California Corporations Code or DGCL, as applicable; provided, however, that if the status of any such Shares as Dissenting Shares shall not be perfected, or if any such Shares shall lose their status as Dissenting Shares, then, as of the later of the Effective Time or the time of the failure to perfect, or loss of, such status, such Shares shall automatically be converted into and shall represent only the right to receive (upon the surrender of the certificate or certificates representing such Shares) the amount of Cash Consideration as set forth in this Section 1.6, without interest. The Company shall give Parent prompt notice of any written notice of intent to demand, election to demand or demand received by it for appraisal rights, and Parent shall have the right to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demand. The Company agrees that, except with the prior written consent of Parent or as required under applicable law, it will not voluntarily make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such notice of intent to demand, election to demand or demand for appraisal.

Section 1.7 Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Within four (4) business days following the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit in an account of a bank or trust company designated by Parent, which may in the Parent's sole discretion be Equiserve Trust Company, N.A. (the "Exchange Agent"), in trust for the benefit of the holders of the Shares (other than Dissenting Shares), for exchange or payment in accordance with this Section 1.7, through the Exchange Agent, cash in an amount sufficient for payment of the Cash Consideration.

(b) Within two (2) business days after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of a certificate or certificates (as of the record date designated by Board of Directors of the Company) which immediately prior to the Effective Time evidenced the outstanding Shares (other than Dissenting Shares) (the "Certificates") (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent may reasonably specify), and (ii) instructions to effect the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for the Cash Consideration pursuant to Section 1.6 of this Agreement. Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the Exchange Agent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly executed, and such other customary documents as may be required pursuant to such instructions, from and after the Effective Time, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor a

check in the amount that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.6 of this Agreement, and the Certificate so surrendered shall be canceled. Within one business day after Parent receives oral confirmation from the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware that the Certificate of Merger has been accepted for filing, Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to release and pay the amounts due to all holders of Certificates who have surrendered their certificates along with their properly executed letters of transmittal prior to the Effective Time. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 1.7, each Certificate shall be deemed, from and after the Effective Time, to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender a cash payment pursuant to Section 1.6 of this Agreement. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, Parent may, in its reasonable discretion and as a condition precedent to the making of any cash payment pursuant to this Agreement, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate to provide an appropriate affidavit of loss and indemnity against any claim that may be made against Parent or the Surviving Corporation with respect to such Certificate.

(c) Neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall be liable to any holder or former holder of capital stock of the Company for any cash amounts delivered to any public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.

(d) Parent, Merger Sub and the Company shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Cash Consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any Stockholder, such amounts as Parent, Merger Sub or the Company determines necessary to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), or any provision of state, local or foreign "Tax" (as defined in Section 2.15(a) below) law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted or withheld, such deducted or withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to such Stockholder in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

Section 1.8 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 Shares thereafter on the records of the Company.

Section 1.9 No Further Ownership Rights in Shares. The Cash Consideration delivered upon the surrender for exchange of the Shares in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Shares, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving Corporation of Shares which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article I.

Section 1.10 Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action. Each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company will take all such reasonable and lawful action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to effectuate the Merger in accordance with this Agreement as promptly as possible. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any such further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and Merger Sub, the officers and directors of the Company and

Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time are fully authorized in the name of their respective corporations or otherwise to take, and will take, all such lawful and necessary action.

Section 1.11 Stock Options and other Securities. All options to purchase capital stock of the Company (the "Company Options"), warrants and other rights to purchase capital stock of the Company or any other security of the Company that shall not have been exercised or converted before the Closing Date shall be canceled and extinguished, and shall be of no further force or effect as of the Closing Date. Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall obtain all necessary consents or releases (i) from holders of Company Options as may be necessary to permit the termination of all outstanding Company Options pursuant to the Agreement and (ii) from holders of any outstanding warrants or any other securities which allow such holders to subscribe for or purchase capital stock of the Company as may be necessary to terminate all such outstanding warrants and other securities pursuant to the Agreement. Notwithstanding anything else set forth in this Section 1.11, the warrant held by Orcland, Inc. and the warrant held by Parent shall not be required to be canceled or extinguished, provided, however, that nothing in this Section 1.11 shall affect the rights of Parent, Merger Sub and Surviving Corporation under Section 8.2(e).

Section 1.12 Voting Agreement. Upon execution of this Agreement, the Company shall deliver to Parent a copy of the Voting Agreement in the form of Exhibit 1.12 hereto duly executed and delivered by the Stockholders identified on Schedule 1.12, which Stockholders shall constitute a majority of each class of capital stock of the Company entitled to vote.

Section 1.13 Material Adverse Effect. When used in connection with the Company or Parent or any of their respective subsidiaries, the term "Material Adverse Effect" means any event, change, effect or circumstance that, individually or when taken together with all other such events, changes, effects or circumstances that have occurred prior to the date of determination of the occurrence of the Material Adverse Effect, which (a) has a material adverse effect on the business, assets (including intangible assets), financial condition or results of operations of the Company and the subsidiaries of the Company taken as a whole or the Parent and the subsidiaries of Parent taken as a whole, as the case may be, (b) will materially delay or prevent the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby; or (c) results in the Company receiving written cancellations or delays of product sales or design wins from its customers, distributors or other resellers that results in the loss of an amount equal to twenty percent (20%) or more of the revenues forecasted by the Company to occur in 2002 or 2003; provided that, in calculating whether the twenty percent (20%) loss of forecasted revenues has occurred, the Company may add forecasted revenues associated with customer orders and design wins that occur subsequent to the date hereof (in the good faith judgment of the Company) to offset any reduction of forecasted revenues associated with the written cancellations or delays of product sales or design wins from the Company's customers; provided, however, any adverse change, effect, occurrence, state of facts or development resulting from (i) general economic conditions affecting the business environment, (ii) the delay or cancellation of orders for the Company's products from customers, distributors or other resellers directly attributable to the announcement of the Merger (except as set forth in (c) above), (iii) the delay or cancellation of orders for the Company's products (including, without limitation, the withdrawal or reduction of design wins) by Sony Corporation or any of its

affiliates on or after September 18, 2002, and (iv) compliance with the terms of, or the taking of any action required by, this Agreement shall not be deemed in itself, to constitute, and shall not be taken into account in determining whether there has been or will be, a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 1.14 Knowledge. The terms "knowledge" and "known" when not capitalized shall be construed, except as specifically otherwise provided, to qualify the matter referred to as being to the actual knowledge after reasonable inquiry of the executive officers of the party making the statement or representation.

ARTICLE II

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY

The Company represents and warrants to Parent and Merger Sub that the statements contained in this Article II are true and correct except as set forth in the written disclosure delivered by the Company to Parent on or prior to the date of this Agreement (the "Company Disclosure Schedule"). The Company Disclosure Schedule shall be arranged in sections and subsections corresponding to the numbered and lettered sections and subsections contained in this Article II and the disclosure in any section or subsection shall qualify other sections or subsections in this Article II only to the extent that it is reasonably apparent from a reading of such disclosure that it also qualifies or applies to such other sections or subsections.

Section 2.1 Organization and Qualification; Subsidiaries. The Company and each of the subsidiaries of the Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation, and has the requisite corporate power and authority necessary to own, lease and operate the properties it purports to own, operate or lease and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted, except where the failure to be so organized, existing and in good standing or to have such power and authority would not have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company and each subsidiary of 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 its properties owned, leased or operated by it or the nature of its activities makes such qualification or licensing necessary, except for such failures to be so duly qualified or licensed and in good standing that would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Each such jurisdiction is listed on Section 2.1 of the Company Disclosure Schedule. Except as indicated on Section 2.1 of the Company Disclosure Schedule, the Company has no subsidiaries and does not directly or indirectly own any equity or similar interest in, or any interest convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any equity or similar interest in, any corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture or other business association or entity. The Company owns all of the issued and outstanding securities of each entity listed on Section 2.1 of the Company Disclosure Schedule.

Section 2.2 Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws. The Company has furnished to Parent a complete and correct copy of the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the "Certificate of Incorporation"), and By-laws and each of its subsidiaries' charter and By-laws, as amended to date. The Company's Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws and each subsidiary's charter and By-laws are in full force and effect. The Company and

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that the Indemnified Party determines in its reasonable judgment that there is a probability that a claim, suit, action or proceeding may materially adversely affect (it being understood by the parties hereto that any action relating to Taxes shall be deemed to "materially adversely affect") it or its rights under this Agreement other than as a result of monetary damages for which it would be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, then the Indemnified Party may, by written notice to the Indemnifying Party, assume the exclusive right to defend, compromise, or settle such claim and the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel shall be considered Losses for purposes of this Agreement; provided however that any such compromise or settlement shall only be made with written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). The party controlling such defense shall keep the other party advised of the status of such action, suit or proceeding and the defense thereof and shall consider in good faith recommendations made by the other party with respect thereto.

(c) Neither the Indemnifying Party nor the Indemnified Party shall agree to any settlement of any action, suit or proceeding without the prior written consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. For purposes hereof, a party's withholding of its consent to any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to the other party of a complete irrevocable release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation or which requires action (or limits action) other than the payment of money that would be considered to be Losses under this Agreement shall be deemed to be reasonable.

Section 8.5 Limitation of Indemnification; Threshold.

(a) Parent and Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to satisfy claims for indemnification pursuant to this Article VIII solely from the Escrow Amount deposited in the Escrow Account. The procedure for payments from the Escrow Account shall be governed by the Escrow Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Escrow Account will not act as a limitation on the obligations of any Stockholder of the Company for indemnifiable amounts arising out of criminal activity or fraud or willful misstatements or omissions by such person in which case such person (or an affiliate of such person) will be liable only to the extent of the Escrow Amount actually received by such person (or affiliate) and any obligation of any Stockholder of the Company for indemnifiable amounts arising out of such criminal activity or fraud or willful misstatements or omissions may be satisfied by the surrender of the Escrow Amount actually received by such person (or affiliate).

(c) No Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article VIII until such time as the total amount of all Losses that

have been directly or indirectly suffered or incurred by any one or more of the Indemnified Parties, or to which any one or more of them has or have otherwise become subject, exceeds $100,000 in the aggregate; provided, however, that if the total amount of such Losses exceeds $100,000, then any Indemnified Party that has suffered or incurred any Losses shall be entitled to be held harmless, indemnified against and compensated, reimbursed and paid for all such Losses.

Section 8.6 No Contribution. By their approval of this Agreement, the Stockholders acknowledge and agree that they shall not have and shall not exercise or assert any right of contribution, indemnification, subrogation or other remedy or right against the Surviving Corporation in connection with any indemnification obligation or other liability to which they may become subject under or in connection with this Agreement, the Voting Agreement, the Transaction Documents or any certificate delivered in connection herewith or therewith.

Section 8.7 Remedies Available. Except for remedies that cannot be waived as a matter of law, the remedies set forth in this Article VIII shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of the parties hereto for any and all losses or other liability sustained or incurred by the parties hereto or the Company Stockholders or their successors or assigns, in connection with this Agreement, the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby; provided, however, that nothing set forth in this sentence shall limit or impair the rights and remedies that any party hereto may have for equitable relief.

Section 8.8 Indemnification of Company Employees, Agents, Directors or Officers.

(a) Parent, Merger Sub, the Company and the Surviving Corporation agree that all rights to indemnification or exculpation now existing in favor of the employees, agents, directors or officers of the Company (the "Company Indemnified Parties") as provided in its certificate of incorporation or by-laws as in effect on the date of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect for a period of three (3) years from and after the Closing Date, assuming the consummation of the Merger; provided, however, that, in the event any claim or claims are asserted or made within such three (3) year period, all rights to indemnification in respect of any such claim or claims shall continue to disposition of any and all such claims. Any determination required to be made with respect to whether a Company Indemnified Party's conduct complies with the standards set forth in the certificate of incorporation or by-laws of the Surviving Corporation or otherwise shall be made by independent counsel selected by the Surviving Corporation reasonably satisfactory to the Company Indemnified Party (whose fees and expenses shall be paid by the Surviving Corporation), which such determination shall be final and binding on the parties thereto.

(b) If any claim or claims for indemnification under Section 8.8(a) arise or are asserted during the twelve-month period following the Effective Time, Parent shall be entitled to satisfy any Losses resulting from such claim or claims solely from the Escrow Amount, in accordance with the Escrow Agreement.

Section 9.7 Assignment. This Agreement shall not be assigned by operation of law or otherwise except with the written consent of each of the other parties hereto; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent and Merger Sub may assign all or any of their rights hereunder to any affiliate thereof so long as Parent remains liable for its obligations hereunder.
