perfect and maintain the rights of ALC in the ALC IP have been validly executed, delivered and

of ALC and who is or was involved in the creation or development of any ALC Product or ALC IP has
signed a valid, enforceable agreement containing an assignment of Intellectual Property Rights
pertaining to such ALC Product or ALC IP to ALC and confidentiality provisions protecting the ALC
IP. No current or former stockholder, officer, director or employee of ALC has any claim, right

developed), used, marketed, distributed, licensed or sold by ALC (including any software that is
part of, is distributed with, or is used in the design, development, manufacturing, production,
distribution, testing, maintenance or support of any ALC Product, but excluding any third-party
software that is generally available on standard commercial terms and is licensed to ALC solely for
internal use on a non-exclusive basis) (collectively, “ALC Software”) (a) contains any bug, defect
or error (including any bug, defect or error relating to or resulting from the display,

ALC Software contains clear and accurate annotations and programmer’s comments, and otherwise has
been documented in a professional manner that is both: (i) consistent with customary code
annotation conventions and best practices in the software industry; and (ii) sufficient to
independently enable a programmer of reasonable skill and competence to understand, analyze and
interpret program logic, correct errors and improve, enhance, modify and support the ALC Software.
To the Knowledge of the Major Stockholder, no source code for any ALC Software has been delivered,
licensed or made available to any escrow agent or other Person who is not, as of the date of this
Agreement, or at the time such source code was made available, an employee of ALC. To the
Knowledge of the Major Stockholder, ALC has no duty or obligation (whether present, contingent, or
otherwise) to deliver, license or make available the source code for any ALC Software to any escrow
agent or other Person. To the Knowledge of the Major Stockholder, no event has occurred, and no
circumstance or condition exists, that (with or without notice or lapse of time) will, or could
reasonably be expected to, result in the delivery, license or disclosure of the source code for any
ALC Software to any other Person.
(r) Open Source. Part 2.12(r) of the Disclosure Schedule accurately identifies and

the period of time during which such privacy policy was or has been in effect, (ii) whether the

policy, and (iii) if applicable, the mechanism (such as opt-in, opt-out, or notice
13
only) used to apply a later ALC Privacy Policy to data or information previously collected
under such privacy policy. Part 2.12(s) of the Disclosure Schedule identifies and describes each
distinct electronic or other database containing (in whole or in part) Personal Data maintained by
or for ALC at any time within the last 3 years (the “ALC Databases”), the types of Personal Data in
each such database, the means by which the Personal Data was collected, and the security policies
that have been adopted and maintained with respect to each such database. To the Knowledge of the

constitute all of the Material ALC Contracts necessary to enable ALC to conduct its business in the
manner in which its business is currently being conducted.
(h) Part 2.13(h) of the Disclosure Schedule identifies and provides an accurate and complete
description of each proposed Material ALC Contract as to which any bid, offer, written proposal,
term sheet or similar document has been submitted or received by ALC within the past six months.
(i) Part 2.13(i) of the Disclosure Schedule provides an accurate description and breakdown of

15
(ii) All facts set forth in or acknowledged by ALC in any certification, representation or
disclosure statement submitted by ALC with respect to any Government Contract or Government Bid
were current, accurate and complete as of the date of submission or as of such other date as
required by the Government Contract and Government Bid. Neither ALC nor any current ALC Employee
has been debarred or suspended from doing business with any Governmental Body, and, to the
Knowledge of the Major Stockholder, no circumstances exist that would warrant the institution of
debarment or suspension proceedings against ALC or any current ALC Employee.
(iii) ALC has not received any determination of noncompliance, entered into any consent order
or undertaken any internal investigation relating directly or indirectly to any Government Contract
or Government Bid. ALC has not made any disclosure to any Governmental Body pursuant to any
voluntary disclosure agreement. ALC is not undergoing and has not undergone any audit, and to the

relating to any Government Contract (other than normal routine audits conducted by ALC in the
Ordinary Course of Business or in order to prepare audited financial statements).
(iv) To the Knowledge of the Major Stockholder, all bills submitted to customers by ALC under
any Government Contract are true and accurate. No Governmental Body, and no prime contractor or
higher-tier subcontractor of any Governmental Body, has withheld or set off, or threatened in a
writing provided to ALC to withhold or set off, any amount due to ALC under any Government
Contract. There is not and has not been any (A) outstanding material claim against ALC by, or
material dispute involving ALC with, any prime contractor, subcontractor, vendor or other Person

Government Contract or which would otherwise be in violation of any applicable procurement law or
regulation or any other Legal Requirement.
(vi) ALC’s cost accounting system is in compliance with applicable regulations and other
applicable Legal Requirements, and has not been determined by any Governmental Body not to be in
compliance with any Legal Requirement. No direct or indirect costs incurred by ALC have been
questioned or disallowed, as a result of a finding or determination of any kind provided to ALC by
any Governmental Body. ALC has reached agreements with the cognizant government representatives
approving and “closing” all indirect costs charged to Government Contracts for 2001, 2002, 2003,
2004 and 2005, and those years are closed. The responsible government representatives have agreed

technical data, computer software or Intellectual Property with all markings and legends (including
any “restricted rights” legend and any “government purpose license rights” legend) necessary (under
the FAR or other applicable Legal Requirements) to ensure that no Governmental Body or other Person
is able to acquire any unlimited rights with respect to such technical data, computer software or
Intellectual Property.
(viii) ALC has not and will not be required to make any filing with or give any notice to, or
to obtain any Consent from, any Governmental Body under or in connection with any Government
Contract or Government Bid as a result of or by virtue of (A) the execution, delivery of

which its business is proposed to be conducted, and (ii) to permit ALC to own and use its assets in
the manner in which they are currently owned and used.
2.17 Tax Matters.
(a) ALC has filed all Tax Returns that it was required to file under applicable Legal

19
have been prepared in substantial compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements. All
Taxes due and owing by ALC (whether or not shown on any Tax Return) have been paid or shown as a
reserve on the ALC Balance Sheet. ALC is not currently the beneficiary of any extension of time
within which to file any Tax Return. No claim has ever been made by an authority in a jurisdiction

There are no Liens for Taxes (other than Taxes not yet due and payable) upon any of the assets of
ALC.
(b) ALC has withheld and paid all Taxes required to have been withheld and paid in connection
with any amounts paid or owing to any employee, independent contractor, creditor, stockholder or
other third party.
(c) No director or officer (or employee responsible for Tax matters) of ALC expects any
authority to assess any additional Taxes for any period for which Tax Returns have been filed. To
the Knowledge of the Major Stockholder, no Proceedings are pending or being conducted with respect
to ALC in connection with any Taxes that may be owed by ALC. ALC has not received from any
Governmental Body any (i) notice indicating an intent to open an audit or other review related to

to the Purchaser correct and complete copies of all federal income Tax Returns, examination reports
and statements of deficiencies assessed against or agreed to by ALC filed or received since

(e) ALC has not waived any statute of limitations in respect of Taxes or agreed to any
extension of time with respect to a Tax assessment or deficiency.
(f) ALC has not filed a consent under section 341(f) of the Code concerning collapsible
corporations. ALC is not a party to any Contract that has resulted or would reasonably be expected
to result, separately or in the aggregate, in the payment of (i) any “excess parachute payment”
within the meaning of section 280G of the Code (or any corresponding provisions of state, local or
foreign Tax law) and (ii) any amount that will note be fully deductible as a result of section
162(m) of the Code (or any corresponding provisions of state, local or foreign Tax law). ALC has
never been a United States real property holding corporation within the meaning of section

of any Person (other than ALC) under regulation 1.1502-6 of the Code (or any similar provision of
state, local, or foreign law), as a transferee or successor, by contract, or otherwise.
20
(g) The unpaid Taxes of ALC did not, as of the Balance Sheet Date, exceed the reserve for Tax
Liability (rather than any reserve for deferred Taxes established to reflect timing differences
between book and Tax income) set forth on the ALC Balance Sheet. Since the Balance Sheet Date up
to the date of the Closing, ALC has not incurred any liability for Taxes arising from extraordinary
gains or losses, determined in accordance with GAAP, outside the Ordinary Course of Business.
Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, no representation or
warranty is being made as to any Tax Liability arising by reason of the Transactions.
(h) ALC will not be required to include any item of income in, or exclude any item of

waived by the Agent, in whole or in part, in accordance with Section 7.12):

SECTION 6. Indemnification, Etc.
6.1 Survival of Representations and Covenants.
(a) The representations, warranties, covenants and obligations of each party shall survive
(without limitation):
(i) the Closing, the sale of the Shares to the Purchaser and the cancellation of the Options;
(ii) any sale or other disposition of any or all of the Shares by the Purchaser; and
(iii) any Acquisition Transaction effected by or otherwise involving the Purchaser or ALC.
(b) The representations and warranties of the Major Stockholder contained in Section 2 of this
Agreement, other than the Specified Representations, shall survive for a period of 1 year after the
Closing (the “Designated Date”); provided however, that if, at any time on or prior to the
Designated Date, any Indemnitee (acting in good faith) delivers to the Agent a notice of an
indemnification claim alleging the existence of an inaccuracy in or a breach of any of such
representations and warranties and asserting a claim for recovery under this Section 6 based on
such alleged inaccuracy or breach, then the representation or warranty asserted in such notice
shall survive until such time as such claim is fully and finally resolved. The Specified
Representations made by the Major Stockholder and the Sellers, as applicable, shall survive for the
period of any applicable statute of limitations.
(c) For purposes of this Agreement, each statement or other item of information set forth in
the Disclosure Schedule or in any update to the Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed to be a
representation and warranty made by the Major Stockholder (or with respect to Sections 2.26 and
2.29, such Seller).
6.2 Indemnification by Sellers.
(a) Each Seller shall, severally and not jointly, hold harmless and indemnify each of the
Indemnitees from and against, and shall compensate and reimburse each of the Indemnitees for, any
Damages which are directly or indirectly suffered or incurred by any of the Indemnitees or to which
any of the Indemnitees may otherwise become subject at any time (regardless of whether or not such
Damages relate to any third-party claim) and which arise directly or indirectly from or as a direct
or indirect result of, or are directly or indirectly connected with:
(i) any Breach of any representation or warranty (other than Sections 2.26 and 2.29) made by
the Major Stockholder in this Agreement;
35
(ii) any Breach of any representation or warranty made by such Seller in Sections 2.26 and
2.29 of this Agreement;
(iii) any Breach of any covenant or obligation of such Seller contained in any of the
Transactional Agreements;
(iv) any Liability to which ALC or any of the other Indemnitees may become subject and that
arises directly or indirectly from or relates directly or indirectly to any product manufactured or
sold, or any service performed, by or on behalf of ALC on or at any time prior to the Closing Date
(but only to the extent such Liabilities exceed $220,000);
(v) any matter identified or referred to in Part 6.2 of the Disclosure Schedule; or
(vi) any Proceeding relating directly or indirectly to any Breach, alleged Breach, Liability
or matter of the type referred to in clause “(i),” “(ii),” “(iii),” “(iv)” or “(v)” above
(including any Proceeding commenced by any Indemnitee for the purpose of enforcing any of its
rights under this Section 6).
(b) The Sellers acknowledge and agree that, among other things, if there is any Breach of any
representation, warranty or other provision relating to ALC or ALC’s business, condition, assets,
liabilities, operations, financial performance, net income or prospects (or any aspect or portion
thereof), then the Purchaser itself shall be deemed, by virtue of its ownership of all of the
common stock of ALC, to have incurred Damages as a result of such Breach or Liability.
6.3 Threshold; Ceiling.
(a) Subject to Section 6.3(b), the Sellers shall not be required to make any indemnification
payment pursuant to Section 6.2 for any Breach as set forth in Section 6.2 until such time as the
total amount of all Damages (including the Damages arising from such Breach and all other Damages
arising from any other Breaches of any representations or warranties) that have been directly or
indirectly suffered or incurred by any one or more of the Indemnitees, or to which any one or more
of the Indemnitees has or have otherwise become subject, exceeds $100,000 in the aggregate. At
such time as the total amount of such Damages exceeds $100,000 in the aggregate, the Indemnitees
shall be entitled to be indemnified against the full amount of such Damages (and not merely the
portion of such Damages exceeding $100,000).
(b) The aggregate Liability of the Sellers for monetary damages under Section 6.2 shall be
limited to the Holdback Fund and shall be satisfied solely through the Purchaser’s right of setoff
against the Holdback Fund. Once the Holdback Fund is distributed (or should have been distributed)
pursuant to this Agreement, Purchaser’s right of setoff against the Holdback Fund shall cease and
be of no further force or effect; provided however, that if, at any time on or prior to the date
the Holdback Fund should have been distributed, any Indemnitee (acting in good faith) delivers to
the Agent a notice of an indemnification claim under this Section 6, then the Purchaser’s right of
setoff against the Holdback Fund shall survive until such time as such claim is fully and finally
resolved. Additionally, Purchaser is not entitled to claim or receive any indemnity or Damages for
any fact, matter or circumstance (including but not limited to a Breach)
36
to the extent that the fact, matter or circumstance is disclosed in the applicable part of the
Disclosure Schedule, or is otherwise known to Purchaser before the Closing and Purchaser still
proceeds with the Closing (other than, in each case, for items included on Part 6.2 of the
Disclosure Schedule), and the amount of any Damages for which an Indemnitee is entitled to
indemnification as provided under this Section 6 shall be calculated net of any accruals, reserves
or provisions therefor reflected in the ALC Financial Statements or ALC Unaudited Interim Financial
Statements. Further, the amount of Damages recoverable by an Indemnitee under this Section 6 with
respect to an indemnity claim shall be reduced by the amount of any payment actually received by
such Indemnitee (or an Affiliate thereof), with respect to the Damages to which such indemnity
claim relates, from any insurance carrier. If an Indemnitee (or an Affiliate) receives any
insurance payment in connection with any claim for Damages for which it has already received an
indemnification payment from any Seller(s) or the Holdback Fund, it shall pay to the Seller(s),
within 30 days of receiving such insurance payment, an amount equal to the excess of (x) the amount
previously received by the Indemnitee under this Section 6 with respect to such claim plus the
amount of the insurance payments received, over (y) the amount of Damages with respect to such
claim that the Indemnitee has become entitled to receive under this Section 6.
(c) The limitations on the Sellers’ indemnification obligations that are set forth in this
Section 6.3 shall not apply to (i) any Breach of any of the Specified Representations, or (ii) any
Breach due to the actual fraud of any Seller, but in such case the limitation shall not apply only
to such Seller.
6.4 No Contribution. Each Seller waives, and acknowledges and agrees that such Seller shall
not have and shall not exercise or assert or attempt to exercise or assert, any right of
contribution or right of indemnity or any other right or remedy against ALC in connection with any
indemnification obligation or any other Liability to which such Seller may become subject under any
of the Transactional Agreements or otherwise in connection with any of the Transactions.
6.5 Treatment of Setoff/Indemnity Payments. If there is any setoff against the Holdback Fund,
or if there is any other payment under this Section 6, such setoff or payment shall be conclusively
presumed to be a reduction in the Purchase Price and Purchaser and the Sellers agree to so treat
such setoffs and payments in such manner.
6.6 Exclusivity of Indemnification Remedies. Except for the availability of equitable relief
or in the event of actual fraud of any Seller (in which case this exclusivity would only not apply
to such Seller), the indemnification remedies and rights of setoff provided in this Section 6 shall
be the sole and exclusive remedy for Breaches under this Agreement and any of the Transactional
Agreements (other than the Noncompetition Agreement).
6.7 Defense of Third Party Claims. In the event of the assertion or commencement by any
Person of any claim or Proceeding (whether against ALC, against any other Indemnitee or against any
other Person) against any Indemnitee with respect to which any of the Sellers may become obligated
to indemnify, hold harmless, compensate or reimburse any Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 6, the
Purchaser shall be entitled to defend such claim or Proceeding on its own and:
37
(a) Subject to Section 6.3, all expenses relating to the defense of such claim or Proceeding
(whether or not incurred by the Purchaser) shall be borne and paid exclusively by the Sellers;
(b) the Sellers shall make available to the Purchaser any documents and materials in the
possession or control of any of the Sellers that may be necessary to the defense of such claim or
Proceeding;
(c) the Purchaser shall keep the Agent informed of all material developments and events
relating to such claim or Proceeding; and
(d) the Purchaser shall have the right to settle, adjust or compromise such claim or
Proceeding with the consent of the Agent; provided, however, that the Agent shall not unreasonably
withhold such consent.
6.8 Exercise of Remedies by Indemnitees Other Than Purchaser. No Indemnitee (other than the
Purchaser or any successor thereto or assign thereof) shall be permitted to assert any
indemnification claim or exercise any other remedy under this Agreement unless the Purchaser (or
any successor thereto or assign thereof) shall have consented to the assertion of such
indemnification claim or the exercise of such other remedy.
SECTION 7. Miscellaneous Provisions
7.1 Sellers’ Agent.
(a) The Sellers hereby irrevocably nominate, constitute and appoint the Major Stockholder as
the agent and true and lawful attorney-in-fact of the Sellers (the “Agent”), with full power of
substitution, to act in the name, place and stead of the Sellers for purposes of executing any
documents and taking any actions that the Agent may, in his sole discretion, determine to be
necessary, desirable or appropriate in connection with any of the Transactional Agreements or any
of the Transactions. The Major Stockholder hereby accepts his appointment as Agent.
(b) The Sellers hereby grant to the Agent full authority to execute, deliver, acknowledge,
certify and file on behalf of the Sellers (in the name of any or all of the Sellers or otherwise)
any and all documents that the Agent may, in his sole discretion, determine to be necessary,
desirable or appropriate, in such forms and containing such provisions as the Agent may, in his
sole discretion, determine to be appropriate (including any closing certificates and any amendment
to or waiver of rights under any of the Transactional Agreements). Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in any of the Transactional Agreements:
(i) the Purchaser shall be entitled to deal exclusively with the Agent on all matters relating
to the respective Transactional Agreements and the respective Transactions (including all matters
relating to any notice to, or any Consent to be given or action to be taken by, any Seller); and
(ii) each Indemnitee shall be entitled to rely conclusively (without further evidence of any
kind whatsoever) on any document executed or purported to be executed
38
on behalf of any Seller by the Agent, and on any other action taken or purported to be taken
on behalf of any Seller by the Agent, as fully binding upon such Seller.
(c) The Sellers recognize and intend that the power of attorney granted in Section 7.1(a):
(i) is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable;
(ii) may be delegated by the Agent; and
(iii) shall survive the death or incapacity of each of the Sellers.
(d) The Agent shall be entitled to treat as genuine, and as the document it purports to be,
any letter, facsimile, telex or other document that is believed by his to be genuine and to have
been telexed, telegraphed, faxed or cabled by a Seller or to have been signed and presented by a
Seller.
(e) If the Agent shall die, become disabled or otherwise be unable to fulfill his
responsibilities hereunder, the Sellers shall (by vote of a majority in interest), within 10 days
after such death or disability or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, appoint a successor
to the Agent and immediately thereafter notify the Purchaser of the identity of such successor.
Any such successor shall succeed the Agent as Agent hereunder. For purposes of a vote of a
majority interest, if the Agent shall die, become disabled or otherwise be unable to vote his
shares of stock hereunder, the Agent’s spouse shall be conclusively presumed to have full voting
authority to vote such stock to appoint a successor to the Agent. If for any reason there is no
Agent at any time, all references herein to the Agent shall be deemed to refer to the Sellers.
(f) All expenses incurred by the Agent in connection with the performance of his duties as
Agent shall be borne and paid by the Sellers, unless provided otherwise in this Agreement.
7.2 Further Assurances. Each party hereto shall execute and/or cause to be delivered to each
other party hereto such instruments and other documents, and shall take such other actions, as such
other party may reasonably request (prior to, at or after the Closing) for the purpose of carrying
out or evidencing any of the Transactions.
7.3 Attorneys’ Fees. If any legal action or other legal proceeding relating to any of the
Transactional Agreements or the enforcement of any provision of any of the Transactional Agreements
is brought against any party hereto, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable
attorneys’ fees, costs and disbursements (in addition to any other relief to which the prevailing
party may be entitled), subject to the limitations in Section 6.3 and 6.6, if applicable.
7.4 Notices. Any notice or other communication required or permitted to be delivered to any
party under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed properly delivered, given and

Seller’s possession that relates directly or indirectly to the business of ALC, the Purchaser or
any affiliate of the Purchaser; except where such disclosure is required by law or legal process or
required to be disclosed on tax returns.

of any provision of this Agreement may be brought or otherwise commenced in any state or federal
court located in the County of Sacramento, California. Each party to this Agreement:
(i) expressly and irrevocably consents and submits to the jurisdiction of each state and
federal court located in the County of Sacramento, California (and each appellate court located in
the County of Sacramento, California) in connection with any such legal proceeding;
(ii) agrees that each state and federal court located in the County of Sacramento, California
shall be deemed to be a convenient forum; and
(c) agrees not to assert (by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise), in any such legal
proceeding commenced in any state or federal court located in the County of Sacramento, California
any claim that such party is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of such court, that such
legal proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of such proceeding is
improper or that this Agreement or the subject matter of this Agreement may not be enforced in or
by such court.
7.10 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon: the Sellers and their
respective personal representatives, executors, administrators, estates, heirs, successors and
assigns (if any); and the Purchaser and its successors and assigns (if any). This Agreement shall
inure to the benefit of: the Sellers; the Purchaser; the other Indemnitees (subject to Section
6.8); and the respective successors and assigns (if any) of the foregoing. The Purchaser may
freely assign any or all of its rights under this Agreement (including its indemnification rights
under Section 6), in whole or in part, to any other Person without obtaining the consent or
approval of any other party hereto or of any other Person.
7.11 Remedies Cumulative; Specific Performance. The rights and remedies of the parties hereto
shall be cumulative (and not alternative). Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit the
Purchaser’s right to equitable relief in the event of any Breach or threatened Breach by any Seller
of any covenant, obligation or other provision set forth in this Agreement. Each Seller agrees
that if the Purchaser shall be entitled (in addition to any other remedy that may be available to
it) to (i) a decree or order of specific performance or mandamus to enforce the observance and
performance of such covenant, obligation or other provision, or (ii) an injunction restraining a
Breach or threatened Breach by such Seller, then neither the Purchaser nor any other Indemnitee
shall be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such decree, order
or injunction or in connection with any related action or Proceeding.
7.12 Waiver.
(a) No failure on the part of any Person to exercise any power, right, privilege or remedy
under this Agreement, and no delay on the part of any Person in exercising any power, right,
privilege or remedy under this Agreement, shall operate as a waiver of such power, right, privilege
or remedy; and no single or partial exercise of any such power, right, privilege or
41
remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right,
privilege or remedy.
(b) No Person shall be deemed to have waived any claim arising out of this Agreement, or any
power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, unless the waiver of such claim, power,
right, privilege or remedy is expressly set forth in a written instrument duly executed and
delivered on behalf of such Person; and any such waiver shall not be applicable or have any effect
except in the specific instance in which it is given.
7.13 Amendments. This Agreement may not be amended, modified, altered or supplemented other
than by means of a written instrument duly executed and delivered on behalf of the Purchaser and
the Agent.
7.14 Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable
in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the
remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or
provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If the final judgment of a court of
competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision hereof is invalid or unenforceable, the
parties hereto agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to limit the
term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable
term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to
expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement
shall be enforceable as so modified. In the event such court does not exercise the power granted
to it in the prior sentence, the parties hereto agree to replace such invalid or unenforceable term
or provision with a valid and enforceable term or provision that will achieve, to the extent
possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such invalid or unenforceable term.
7.15 Parties in Interest. Except for the provisions of Section 6 hereof, none of the
provisions of this Agreement is intended to provide any rights or remedies to any Person other than
the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns (if any).
7.16 Entire Agreement. The Transactional Agreements set forth the entire understanding of the
parties relating to the subject matter thereof and supersede all prior agreements and
understandings among or between any of the parties relating to the subject matter thereof.
Purchaser acknowledges that it has conducted to its satisfaction an independent investigation of
the financial condition, results of operations, assets, liabilities, properties and projected
operations of ALC and, in making its determination to proceed with the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement, Purchaser has relied solely on the results of its own independent investigation and
the representations and warranties of the Major Stockholder and the Sellers set forth in Article 2,
including the Disclosure Schedule. Such representations and warranties by the Major Stockholder
and the Sellers constitute the sole and exclusive representations and warranties of the Major
Stockholder and the Sellers to Purchaser in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby,
and Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that neither the Major Stockholder nor the Sellers are making
any representation or warranty whatsoever, express or implied, beyond those expressly given in this
Agreement, including any implied warranty as to condition, merchantability or suitability as to any
of the assets of ALC, and it is understood that Purchaser cancels the Options and takes the Shares,
ALC, its assets and
42
its business as is and where is (subject to the benefit of the representations, warranties and
covenants set forth in this Agreement). Purchaser further acknowledges and agrees that any cost
estimates, projections or other predictions that may have been provided to Purchaser or any of its
employees, agents or representatives are not representations or warranties of the Major Stockholder
or the Sellers or any of either’s Affiliates. Purchaser has no Knowledge that any of the
representations and warranties of the Major Stockholder or of any Seller in this Agreement (as
modified by the Disclosure Schedule) is not true and correct, and Purchaser has no Knowledge of any
errors in, or omissions from, the Disclosure Schedule.

include the plural, and vice versa; the masculine gender shall include the feminine and neuter
genders; the feminine gender shall include the masculine and neuter genders; and the neuter gender
shall include the masculine and feminine genders.
(b) The parties hereto agree that any rule of construction to the effect that ambiguities are
to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be applied in the construction or
interpretation of this Agreement.
(c) As used in this Agreement, the words “include” and “including,” and variations thereof,
shall not be deemed to be terms of limitation, but rather shall be deemed to be followed by the
words “without limitation.”
(d) Except as otherwise indicated, all references in this Agreement to “Sections” and
“Exhibits” are intended to refer to Sections of this Agreement and Exhibits to this Agreement.
7.18 Tax Matters. EACH SELLER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT NEITHER PURCHASER, ALC, THE MAJOR STOCKHOLDER
NOR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE REPRESENTATIVES, IS PROVIDING TAX ADVICE REGARDING THE EFFECT OF THE
SALE OF THE SHARES OR THE CANCELLATION OF THE OPTIONS, AS APPLICABLE, ON ANY TAXES PAYABLE BY ANY
SELLER (OR ANY AFFILIATE, ASSIGNEE, SUCCESSOR OR HEIR OF ANY SELLER), NOW OR IN THE FUTURE. EACH
SELLER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY TAXES THAT MAY BECOME PAYABLE BY SUCH SELLER AS A RESULT OF THE SALE
OF THE SHARES OR THE CANCELLATION OF THE OPTIONS, AS APPLICABLE.
