BACKGROUND

A. The board of directors of each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub have determined that the Merger (as defined in Section 1.1) would be advisable and in the best interests of the stockholders of their respective companies, and have approved this Agreement and the Merger contemplated by this Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

B. Concurrent with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, stockholders of the Company holding sufficient Company Common Stock (as defined in Section 1.4), to approve this Agreement and the Merger, have executed the action by written consent attached to this Agreement as Exhibit A (the “Company Stockholders Written Consent”) approving and adopting this Agreement and approving the Merger.

C. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not otherwise defined in context have the meanings ascribed to such terms in Section 8.4 of this Agreement.

AGREEMENT

The parties to this Agreement, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1 THE MERGER

1.1 The Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions in this Agreement, and in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”) at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), which shall be as set forth in the certificate of merger, substantially in the form of Exhibit B (the “Certificate of Merger”), to be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Delaware Secretary”) if, as and when the Closing occurs. The Company shall be the surviving corporation (sometimes referred to as the “Surviving Corporation”) in the Merger and shall succeed to and assume all the rights and obligations of Merger Sub in accordance with the DGCL.

1.2 Closing. The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall take place concurrently with the Effective Time upon the later of: (a) January 12, 2007, or

(b) five business days after the satisfaction or waiver of each of the conditions set forth in ARTICLE 5 or at such other time as the parties agree in writing. The Closing shall take place at the offices of Blank Rome LLP, One Xxxxx Square, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania or at such other location as the parties agree. The date on which the Closing actually occurs is herein referred to as the “Closing Date.”

1.3 Effects of the Merger.

(a) At the Effective Time, the effect of the Merger shall be as provided in this Agreement, the Certificate of Merger and the applicable provisions of the DGCL.

(b) At the Effective Time, the certificate of incorporation of the Company shall be amended such that the certificate of incorporation shall be the certificate of incorporation attached to the Certificate of Merger, until thereafter amended as provided by the DGCL and such certificate of incorporation.

(c) At the Effective Time, the bylaws of the Company shall be amended such that the bylaws of Merger Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended as provided by the DGCL, the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation and such bylaws.

(d) At the Effective Time, the directors and officers of Merger Sub, as constituted immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the directors and officers of the Surviving Corporation, for so long as provided under DGCL, the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation and the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.

(e) It is intended that the Merger shall constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and that this Agreement shall constitute a plan of reorganization within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a).

1.4 Merger Consideration. Parent shall deliver the aggregate merger consideration (the “Merger Consideration”) consisting of: (i) shares of unregistered Parent Common Stock (subject to adjustment as provided in this Section 1.4) (the “Common Stock Consideration”) , in an aggregate amount equal to (A )Fifteen Million (15,000,000) less (B) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock, which, the Nonaccredited Stockholders would be entitled to receive but for the provisions of Section 1.6 (d) and (ii) the Cash Consideration. The Merger Consideration shall be allocated as provided in Section 1.6 below. If the components of Debt Limit exceed Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) in the aggregate as of the Effective Time, then (without regard to the Indemnification Threshold) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock included in the Merger Consideration shall be reduced dollar for dollar, but without duplication, by the aggregate amount thereof in excess of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000). If, between the date hereof and the Effective Time, (i) the shares of Parent Common Stock shall be changed (or Parent establishes a record date for changing such shares which is prior to the Effective Time) into a different number or class of shares by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, split-up, combination, exchange of shares or readjustment, (ii) a stock dividend shall be declared (or Parent establishes a record date for such dividend which is prior to the

Effective Time) in respect of Parent Common Stock, or (iii) any distribution is made (or Parent establishes a record date for such distribution which is prior to the Effective Time) in respect of Parent Common Stock other than a regular quarterly cash dividend consistent with past practice, proportionate adjustments shall be made to the Merger Consideration. For purposes of this Agreement, Cash Consideration shall mean an amount equal to the number of shares of Company Common Stock owned by Nonaccredited Stockholders (as defined in Section 1.6(d) below) multiplied by $1.00.

1.5 Additional Consideration. In order to induce the Stockholders to enter into the Escrow Agreement, deposit the Indemnity Escrow Shares with the Escrow Agent, and make the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2 hereof, Parent shall issue at Closing One Million (1,000,000) shares of unregistered Parent Common Stock (the “Additional Consideration”) to the Stockholders to be divided among such Stockholders as they shall determine.

1.6 Effect on Capital Stock. As of the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Merger Sub, Parent or the Company, the following shall occur:

(a) Each share of common stock of the Company, par value $.01 per share (the “Company Common Stock”) that is owned by the Company, Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective subsidiaries shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered or deliverable in exchange therefor.

(b) Each share of common stock of Merger Sub (the “Merger Sub Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation. Each certificate evidencing ownership of Merger Sub Common Stock shall evidence ownership of shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

(c) Subject to the provision of Section 1.6(d) below, each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares to be canceled in accordance with Section 1.6(a) and Dissenting Shares (as defined in Section 1.9)) shall be converted into the right to receive and become exchangeable for: (i) a number of shares of Parent Common Stock determined by dividing the Common Stock Consideration (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 1.4) by the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Company Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time determined on a fully diluted basis, reserving for the exercise of all Company Options outstanding on the Effective Date. All such shares of Company Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate formerly representing any such shares of Company Common Stock (each a “Certificate” and, collectively, the “Certificates”) shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive a share of the Common Stock Consideration upon surrender of such Certificate as provided in this Agreement.

(d) Each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that is owned by a Nonaccredited Stockholder shall be converted into the right to receive cash in an amount equal to the number of shares of Company

Common Stock owned by such Nonaccredited Stockholder by $1.00. The Cash Consideration shall be paid solely to the Nonaccredited Stockholders. In no event, however, shall the Cash Consideration portion of the total Merger Consideration exceed twenty percent (20%) of the total Merger Consideration paid under this Agreement.

(e) Each option, warrant, or similar right to acquire stock of the Company (whether vested or unvested) (collectively, the “Company Options”) shall continue in accordance with its terms, entitling the holder thereof to acquire its pro rata share of the Merger Consideration upon the prior payment of the exercise price provided for in the Company Options. No consideration of any kind shall be payable by Parent or the Surviving Corporation on account of Company Options, none of which shall be assumed by Parent or the Surviving Corporation.

(f) Each share of preferred stock of the Company, if any, outstanding at the Effective Time shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered or deliverable in exchange therefor.

1.7 Escrow Shares. To secure the indemnification obligations set forth in Article VII and any downward adjustment to the Merger Consideration permitted under Section 1.4, at the Closing, the Stockholders shall collectively deposit or cause to be deposited in escrow One Million (1,000,000) shares of Parent Common Stock to be received by such persons as a result of the Merger (the “Indemnity Escrow Shares”). Indemnity Escrow Shares shall be held and released in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement to be entered into at the Closing between Parent, the Stockholder and the Escrow Agent, in substantially the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit D (the “Escrow Agreement”).

1.8 Exchange of Certificates.

(a) At the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit with Island Stock Transfer, St. Petersburg, Florida (or any successor in the capacity as transfer agent for Parent Common Stock) (the “Exchange Agent”): (i) certificates for Parent Common Stock representing the Merger Consideration, other than Indemnity Escrow Shares which shall be deposited with the Escrow Agent pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, and (ii) the aggregate cash in lieu of fractional shares to be paid in accordance with Section 1.8(g) hereof (the “Exchange Fund”).

(b) At the Closing or as soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing, the Exchange Agent shall deliver or mail to each holder of record of Company Common Stock and Company Options immediately prior to the Effective Time (i) a letter of transmittal in the form approved by Parent (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon 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 for use in surrendering Certificates and Company Options in exchange for Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the Exchange Agent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly executed, the stock powers required to be delivered in accordance with the Escrow Agreement and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Exchange Agent, the holder of such Certificate shall receive in exchange therefor the Merger Consideration into which the shares formerly represented by such Certificate shall have been converted (net of the related Indemnity Escrow Shares) and the Certificate so surrendered

shall be canceled. If any transfer of ownership of shares of Company Common Stock has not been registered in the Company’s transfer records, then payment may be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Certificate so surrendered is registered if (i) such Certificate is properly endorsed or otherwise in proper form for transfer and (ii) the Person requesting such transfer or payment shall pay any transfer or other Tax (as defined in Section 2.9(a)) required by reason of the payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or establish to the satisfaction of Parent that such Tax has been paid or is not applicable. Upon the exercise of Company Options and tender to the Exchange Agent of the purchase price for such Company Options, together with a letter of transmittal, duly executed, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Exchange Agent, the holder of such Company Options shall receive in exchange therefor the Merger Consideration into which the underlying shares formerly represented by such Company Options shall have been converted.

(c) The Merger Consideration delivered upon the surrender of Certificates in and Company Options accordance with the terms of this ARTICLE 1 shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Certificates, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of the shares of Company Common Stock which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged for payment as provided in this ARTICLE 1, except as otherwise provided by law.

(d) In the event any Certificate or Company Option shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, then, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate or Company Option to be lost, stolen or destroyed and the posting by such Person of a bond in such amount as Parent or the Exchange Agent may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Merger Consideration deliverable in respect thereof pursuant to this Agreement.

(e) Parent, the Surviving Corporation and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from amounts otherwise payable in accordance with this Agreement to any former holder of shares of Company Common Stock such amounts as any of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent reasonably believes is required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax law, including any Taxes required to be withheld pursuant to Section 409A of the Code. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate taxing authority by the Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the shares of Company Common Stock in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent.

(f) No dividends or other distributions declared after the Effective Time with respect to Parent Common Stock and payable to the holders of record thereof shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate until the holder thereof shall surrender such Certificate in accordance with this ARTICLE 1. After the surrender of a Certificate in accordance with this

ARTICLE 1, the record holder thereof shall be entitled to receive any such dividends or other distributions, without interest thereon, which theretofore had become payable with respect to shares of Parent Common Stock represented by such Certificate. No interest will be paid or accrued on the cash in lieu of fractional shares or the unpaid dividends and distributions, if any, payable to holders of the Certificates.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of the Company Stock Certificates or Company Options, no dividend or distribution with respect to Parent Common Stock shall be payable on or with respect to any fractional share, and such fractional share interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any other rights of a stockholder of Parent. In lieu of the issuance of any such fractional share, Parent shall pay to each former stockholder of the Company who otherwise would have been entitled to receive a fractional share of Parent Common Stock an amount in cash determined by multiplying (i) $1.00 by (ii) the fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock which such holder would otherwise have been entitled to receive pursuant to Section 1.6(c) hereof.

(h) Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the stockholders of the Company for eighteen (18) months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent. Any stockholders of the Company or holders of Company Options who have not theretofore complied with this ARTICLE 1 or exercised rights under the Company Options shall thereafter look only to Parent for payment of the Merger Consideration and/or the unpaid dividends and distributions on the Parent Common Stock deliverable in respect of each share of the Company Common Stock that such stockholder held as determined pursuant to this Agreement, in each case, without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of Parent, the Surviving Corporation, the Exchange Agent or any other person shall be liable to any former holder of shares of the Company Common Stock for any amount delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws.

1.9 Dissenting Shares.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary and unless otherwise provided by applicable law, shares of Company Common Stock that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that are owned by stockholders who have properly perfected their dissenter’s rights in accordance with the provisions of the DGCL (“Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, unless and until such stockholders shall have failed to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost their right of payment under the DGCL, but, instead, the holders thereof shall be entitled to payment of the fair value of such Dissenting Shares in accordance with the applicable provisions of the DGCL. If any such holder shall have failed to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost such dissenter’s rights, each share of Company Common Stock held by such stockholder shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted into the right to receive and become exchangeable for, as of the Effective Time, a share of the Merger Consideration as specified in Section 1.6(c).

(b) The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of any notices or demands for appraisal filed in accordance with the DGCL received by the Company, withdrawals

of such notices or demands for appraisal and any other instruments served in connection with such notices or demands in accordance with the DGCL and received by the Company or its representatives and (ii) the opportunity to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under the DGCL consistent with the Company’s obligations thereunder. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, (i) voluntarily make any payment, admission or statement against interest with respect to any such demand, (ii) offer to settle or settle any such demand or (iii) waive any failure by a former Company stockholder to timely deliver a written notice or demand or other act perfecting appraisal rights in accordance with the DGCL.

Without limiting the foregoing, to the Company’s knowledge, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is infringing, interfering with, or is misappropriating, or misappropriated any Intellectual Property of any Person or any law relating to Intellectual Property. To the Company’s knowledge, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any notice from any Person claiming that such operation or any Company Product infringes, interferes with, or misappropriates the Intellectual Property Rights of any Person or constitutes unfair competition or trade practices under the laws of any jurisdiction (nor does the Company have knowledge of any basis therefor). To the Company’s knowledge, no Person is infringing, interfering with, or misappropriating, or has infringed, interfered with, or misappropriated, any Intellectual Property of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

(j) Each item of Company Registered Intellectual Property listed on Section 2.8(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter is valid and subsisting, and all necessary registration, maintenance and renewal fees in connection with such Company Registered

Intellectual Property have been paid and all necessary documents and articles in connection with such Company Registered Intellectual Property have been filed with the relevant patent, copyright, trademark or other authorities in the United States or foreign jurisdictions, as the case may be, for the purposes of maintaining such Registered Intellectual Property. There are no actions that must be taken by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries within 60 days after the Closing Date, including the payment of any registration, maintenance or renewal fees or the filing of any documents, applications or articles for the purposes of maintaining, perfecting or preserving or renewing any Company Registered Intellectual Property, except as set forth on Section 2.8(j) of the Company Disclosure Letter.

To the Company’s knowledge, no circumstances or grounds exist that would give rise to such a Dispute. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has sent any notice of any such Dispute, and to the Company’s knowledge, no circumstances or grounds exist upon which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries could assert any such Dispute. No Company Intellectual Property is subject to any outstanding injunction, judgment, order, decree, ruling charge, settlement or other disposition of any Dispute.

(l) To the Company’s knowledge, there are no facts or circumstances that would render any Company Intellectual Property invalid or unenforceable. Without limiting the foregoing, to the Company’s knowledge, there are no information, materials, facts, or circumstances, including any information or fact that would constitute prior art, that would render any of the Company Registered Intellectual Property invalid or unenforceable, or would adversely effect any pending application for any Company Registered Intellectual Property, and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has misrepresented, or failed to disclose, there are no misrepresentations of or failures to disclose, any fact or circumstance in any application for any Registered Intellectual Property that would constitute fraud or a misrepresentation with respect to such application or that would otherwise affect the validity or enforceability of any such Registered Intellectual Property.

(m) To the Company’s knowledge, there are no measures necessary to protect the Company Intellectual Property which have not been taken and which the failure to take would be reasonably likely to result in or otherwise have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company.

Company or such Subsidiary has recorded each such assignment with the relevant governmental authorities, including the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the U.S. Copyright Office, or their respective equivalents in any relevant foreign jurisdiction, as the case may be.

(n) There are no Contracts between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and any other Person with respect to the Company Intellectual Property or any other Intellectual Property under which there is currently any Dispute regarding the scope of such Contract, or performance under such Contract including with respect to any payments to be made or received by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries thereunder.

(o) The Company and each of its Subsidiaries has taken all reasonable steps that are required to protect the Company’s or such Subsidiaries’ rights in Trade Secrets of the Company or such Subsidiary, or provided by any other Person to the Company or such Subsidiary.

Without limiting the foregoing, to Parent’s knowledge, neither Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries is infringing, interfering with, or is misappropriating any Intellectual Property of any Person or any law relating to Intellectual Property. To the Parent’s knowledge, neither Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any notice from any Person claiming that such operation or any Parent Product infringes, interferes with, or misappropriates the Intellectual Property Rights of any Person or constitutes unfair competition or trade practices under the laws of any jurisdiction (nor does Parent have knowledge of any basis therefor).

To Parent’s knowledge, no circumstances or grounds exist that would give rise to such a Dispute. Neither Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries has sent any notice of any such Dispute, and to Parent’s knowledge, no circumstances or grounds exist upon which Parent or any of its Subsidiaries could assert any such Dispute. No Parent Intellectual Property is subject to any outstanding injunction, judgment, order, decree, ruling charge, settlement or other disposition of any Dispute.

(l) To Parent’s knowledge, there are no facts or circumstances that would render any Parent Intellectual Property invalid or unenforceable. Without limiting the foregoing, to Parent’s knowledge, there are no information, materials, facts, or circumstances, including any information or fact that would constitute prior art, that would render any of the Parent Registered Intellectual Property invalid or unenforceable, or would adversely effect any pending application for any Parent Registered Intellectual Property, and neither Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries has misrepresented, or failed to disclose, there are no misrepresentations of or failures to disclose, any fact or circumstance in any application for any Registered Intellectual Property that would constitute fraud or a misrepresentation with respect to such application or that would otherwise affect the validity or enforceability of any such Registered Intellectual Property.

The Stockholders (the “Indemnifying Stockholders”) shall jointly and severally, from and after the Effective Time, indemnify and hold harmless Parent the Surviving Corporation and their respective officers, directors, agents and employees, subsidiaries, directors and employees of subsidiaries, and each Person, if any, who controls or may control Parent and the Surviving Corporation within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (each of the foregoing, an “Indemnified Person”) from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, claims, suits, settlements, reduction in value, lost profits, royalties, costs and expenses, including costs of investigation, settlement, and defense and reasonable legal fees, court costs, and any interest costs or penalties (collectively, “Indemnifiable Losses”), arising out of, related to or otherwise by virtue of (a) any breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company, Galt, Xxxxxxxx or Xxxxx in this Agreement, the Company Disclosure Letter, any exhibit or schedule to this Agreement or any other document required to be delivered to Parent or Merger Sub in accordance with any provision of this Agreement, (b) any breach of or default in connection with any of the covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement, (c) any appraisal or similar action with respect to shares of Company Common Stock, (d) failure to satisfy any transaction fees or expenses described in Section 4.9 which are incurred but not identified on Section 4.9 of the Company Disclosure Letter, and (e) any litigation or proceedings identified in Section 2.6 of the Company Disclosure Letter .

7.2 Indemnification of the Company. Parent shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its Subsidiaries, and their respective officers, directors, agents and employees, subsidiaries, directors and employees of subsidiaries, from and against any and all Indemnified Losses, arising out of, related to or otherwise by virtue of (a) any breach of any representation or warranty made by Parent in this Agreement, the Parent Disclosure Letter, any exhibit or schedule to this Agreement or any other document required to be delivered by Parent or Merger Sub to the Company in accordance with any provision of this Agreement, (b) any breach of or default in connection with any of the covenants or agreements made by Parent or Merger Sub in this Agreement, or (c) failure to satisfy any transaction fees or expenses described in Section 4.9 which are identified on Section 4.9 of the Company Disclosure Letter

7.3 Limitations on Indemnification.

(a) The Indemnified Persons may not recover in respect of any claim for indemnification as a result of a breach of representation or warranty in accordance with Section 7.1 unless and until Indemnifiable Losses in accordance with Section 7.1 have been incurred, paid or accrued in an aggregate amount greater than (i) $250,000 with respect to the Radiant litigation identified in Section 2.6 of the Company Disclosure Schedule, (ii) $250,000 with respect to the Xxxxxx Xxxxx litigation identified in Section 2.6 of the Company Disclosure Schedule and (iii) $200,000 with respect to all Indemnifiable Losses other than those referred in Section 7.3(a) (i) and (ii) (collectively, the “Indemnification Threshold”).

(b) No Indemnifying Stockholder shall have any right of contribution, right of indemnity or other right or remedy against Parent or the Surviving Corporation in connection with any indemnification obligation or any other liability to which such Indemnifying Stockholder may become subject under or in connection with this Agreement.

7.4 Claim Period. The period during which claims for indemnification under this Article 7 may be initiated shall commence at the Effective Time and terminate on the first anniversary of the Effective Time (the “Claim Period”), provided, however, that (i) the Claim Period with respect to any breach or inaccuracy in any Excepted Representations shall not terminate, and (ii) any claim initiated by notice to Stockholders Representative (in the case of a claim under Section 7.1) or by notice to Parent (in the case of a claim under Section 7.2) prior to expiration of the Claim Period shall not terminate as of such date.

7.5 Third-Party Claims. If Parent or the Surviving Corporation becomes aware of a third-party claim which Parent or the Surviving Corporation believes may result in a claim by or on behalf of an Indemnified Person, Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall promptly notify the Stockholders Representative of such third-party claim, and provide the Stockholders Representative the opportunity to participate, subject to the control of Parent, at its own cost in any defense of such claim. Parent shall have the right in its sole discretion to settle any such claim; provided, however, without the consent of the Stockholders Representative, no settlement of any such claim with third party claimants shall be determinative of the amount of Indemnifiable Losses relating to such matter. If the Stockholders Representative consents to any such settlement, neither the Stockholders Representative nor any stockholder of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall have any power or authority to object to the amount or validity of any claim by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person for indemnity with respect to such settlement.

The Stockholders Representative shall be the sole and exclusive means of asserting or addressing any of the above and no Stockholder of the Company shall have any right to act on its own behalf with respect to any such matters, other than any claim or dispute against the Stockholders Representative. No bond shall be required of the Stockholders Representative, and the Stockholders Representative shall receive no compensation for his services. Notices or communications to or from the Stockholders Representative shall constitute notice to or from each Stockholder.

(b) The Stockholders Representative shall not be liable to any Stockholder for any act done or omitted hereunder as the Stockholders Representative while acting in good faith and any act done or omitted in accordance with the advice of counsel or other expert shall be conclusive evidence of such good faith. The Stockholder shall severally indemnify the Stockholders Representative and hold him harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred without gross negligence or bad faith on the part of the Stockholders Representative and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of his duties hereunder.

Any notice or communication given or received by, and any decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction of, the Stockholders Representative that is within the scope of the Stockholders Representative’s authority under Section 7.7 shall constitute a notice or communication to or by, or a decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction of the Stockholder and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon each such Stockholder; and each Indemnified Person and the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any such notice,

communication, decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction as being a notice or communication to or by, or a decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction of, each and every such Stockholder. Except for their gross negligence and willful misconduct, each Indemnified Person and the Escrow Agent are unconditionally and irrevocably relieved from any liability to any person for any acts done by them in accordance with any such notice, communication, decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent or instruction of the Stockholders Representative.

7.9 Exclusive Remedy. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that from and after the Closing, except in the case of fraud or intentional misrepresentation and the right to seek specific performance or other equitable relief, the rights of the parties to indemnification relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be strictly limited to those contained in this Article 7, such indemnification rights shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of the parties subsequent to the Effective Time with respect to any matter in any way relating to this Agreement or arising in connection herewith, and Indemnified Losses under this Section 7.1 in the aggregate may not exceed the value of Escrow Shares determined in accordance with the Escrow Agreement, with recovery strictly limited to claims against the Indemnity Escrow Shares.
