extent permissible under applicable Law, to consummate and make effective the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Other Agreements as
expeditiously as practicable, to ensure that the conditions set forth in Article VIII are
satisfied and to hold the Closing on or before November 15, 2009, insofar as
such matters are within the control of such Party.
7.2 Confidentiality. The
Parties hereby agree that any information exchanged between the Parties hereto
pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement, the Other Agreements or the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be held subject to and in
accordance with the confidentiality, non-disclosure and non-use obligations set
forth in this Agreement.
a) Confidential
Information. For purposes of this Agreement, "Confidential
Information" will mean any information or material which is proprietary to the
Parties or designated as Confidential Information by the Parties and not
generally known other than by the Parties. Confidential Information
also includes any information which the Parties obtain from any third party
which the Parties treat as proprietary or designate as Confidential Information,
whether or not owned by the Parties. "Confidential Information" does
not include the following: (i) information which is known by the Parties which
is not subject to any other non-disclosure agreement between the
Parties; (ii) information which is now, or which hereafter becomes,
generally known to the industry through no fault of either Party, or which is
later published or generally disclosed to the public by a Party; or (iii)
information which is otherwise lawfully and independently developed by a Party,
or lawfully acquired from a third party without any obligation of
confidentiality.
b) No Disclosure; No
Use. The Parties agree to hold in confidence and not to
disclose or reveal to any person or entity any Confidential Information
disclosed hereunder without the clear and express prior written consent of a
duly authorized representative of the other Party. The Parties
further agree not to use or disclose any of the Confidential Information for any
purpose at any time, other than for the limited purpose(s) of this
confidence. In the event that one of the Parties is directed to
disclose any portion of any Confidential Information or any other materials
proprietary to the other Party in conjunction with a judicial proceeding or
arbitration, the disclosing Party will immediately notify the non-disclosing
Party both orally and in writing. The Parties represent and warrant that they
will not use in the course of its performance hereunder, and will not disclose
to each other, any confidential information of any third party (including
competitors) unless they are expressly authorized in writing by such third party
to do so.
7.3 Access to
Information.
a) From
the Execution Date to the Closing Date, Seller shall afford to Buyer and its
accountants, counsel and other authorized representatives reasonable access, at
Buyer’s sole expense, upon reasonable prior notice during normal business hours,
to the properties, books and records related to the Acquired Assets; provided, however, that such
access does not unreasonably disrupt the normal operations of
Seller.
21
b) After
the Closing Date, each Party shall grant to the other Party such access to
financial records and other information in its possession related to the
Acquired Assets with respect to the period before the Closing Date and shall
provide such cooperation and assistance as shall be reasonably required to
enable such Party to complete its legal, regulatory, stock exchange and
financial reporting requirements and for any other reasonable business purpose,
including in respect of litigation and insurance matters; provided, however, that such
access does not unreasonably disrupt the normal operations of the applicable
Party.
7.4 Transaction Written Consent;
Preparation of Information Statement. As soon as practicable following
the Execution Date, Seller shall obtain any Required Stockholder Vote by means
of legally effective action by written consent of shareholders or a special
meeting of shareholders of Sellers, approving this Agreement and the execution,
delivery and consummation of the transactions contemplated under this Agreement
and the Other Agreements (the “Transaction Written
Consent”).
7.5 Interim
Operations. Seller agrees that after the Execution Date and
prior to the Closing Date (unless Buyer shall otherwise approve in writing) and

reasonable efforts to (i) maintain in effect all foreign, federal, state
and local licenses, permits, consents, franchises, approvals and authorizations;
and (ii) continue to provide customer support and service to its customers
in the Ordinary Course. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing and in furtherance thereof, from the Execution Date until the Closing,
except (A) as otherwise expressly contemplated by this Agreement;
(B) as Buyer may consent in writing (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that Buyer
shall be required to respond to Seller within two (2) Business Days after
receipt of written notice requesting approval from Seller with respect to any
such action, and if Buyer does not respond within such time period, such lack of
response shall be deemed to constitute written approval of Buyer with respect to
any such action); (C) as is required by applicable Law or Governmental
Authorities; or (D) as set forth in Schedule 7.5,
Seller will not:
a) adopt
or propose any amendment or change in its certificate of incorporation or bylaws
or other applicable governing instruments;

or consolidate with any other Person, or restructure, reorganize or completely
or partially liquidate;

(or omit to take) any action that adversely affects, or could reasonably be
expected to adversely affect, any rights of Seller to the Seller Intellectual

h) settle,
or offer or propose to settle (i) any litigation, investigation,

any result which adversely affects the Business or Acquired Assets;
i) sell
or offer to sell any Products on terms that are not consistent with Seller’s
Ordinary Course or at any price that is less than such Product’s list price,
subject to discounts consistent with the Ordinary Course;
j) take
any action that would make any representation or warranty of Seller hereunder,
or omit to take any action necessary to prevent any representation or warranty
of Seller hereunder from being, inaccurate in any respect at, or as of any time
before, the Closing Date; or
k) agree
or commit to do any of the foregoing.
7.6 No
Solicitation.
a) Other
than as may be expressly permitted herein, Seller will not, and will not permit
any of its subsidiaries or any of the directors, officers, employees, advisors,
representatives or agents of Seller or any of its subsidiaries (collectively,
the “Representatives”) to,
directly or indirectly, (i) discuss, negotiate, undertake, authorize,
recommend, propose or enter into, either as the proposed surviving, merged,
acquiring or acquired corporation, any transaction involving a merger,

other person or entity to do or seek any of the foregoing.
b) Following
the Execution Date, Seller shall, and shall cause its subsidiaries’ and their
Representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated any existing
discussions or negotiations with any persons or entities (other than Buyer)
conducted heretofore with respect to any of the foregoing. Seller

its subsidiaries is a party.

Transfer Tax).
c) Seller
and Buyer shall provide each other with such assistance as may reasonably be
requested by either Party in connection with the preparation of any Tax Return,

Assets.

their respective Affiliates to issue any press release or other public
announcement with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated
hereby without the prior consent of the other Parties, such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, except as may be required by

statement shall allow the other Parties reasonable time to comment on such
release or statement in advance of such issuance to the extent permitted by
applicable Laws).
