Agreement shall sell to AMI, and AMI shall purchase from such Sellers, all of
such Seller's right, title and interest in and to the WARP Stock indicated next
to such Seller's name on Schedule A hereto (the "Transaction"). At the Closing,
each of such Sellers shall deliver to AMI all of the certificates representing

Stock free and clear of any and all claims, liens, charges, security interests,
pledges or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever.

thereunder.
2.3 Exchange of Shares. At the Closing, the Sellers shall surrender their
certificate or certificates (the "Certificates") which represent their shares of
WARP Stock and shall promptly upon surrender thereof receive in exchange
therefore the number of whole Consideration Shares issuable in respect to all
shares of WARP Stock held by each Seller (rounded to the nearest share). AMI
shall not be obligated to deliver the Consideration Shares which a Seller is
entitled to pursuant to this Agreement until such Seller surrenders their
Certificate or Certificates for exchange as provided in this Section 2.3 or
delivers a lost stock certificate affidavit pursuant to Section 2.9 of this
Agreement.
2.4 Legending of Securities. Each certificate for Consideration Shares
shall bear substantially the following legend:

TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED. OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN
5
EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SAID ACT OR LAWS, OR AN
OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH
REGISTRATION IS NOT, IN THE CIRCUMSTANCES, REQUIRED UNDER SAID
ACT".
2.5 Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, if a Seller would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction
of a share of AMI Common Stock (after taking into account all Certificates
delivered by the Seller), the number of shares issuable to that Seller shall be

together with such additional Persons as may thereafter be elected, shall be
appointed the officers of AMI, as shown on Schedule B , from and after the

Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an

shall pay such Seller the Consideration Shares to which such Seller is entitled.

acceleration or cancellation of or require any consent under, or result in the

24
5.4 Indemnity Procedure. A party or parties hereto agreeing to be
responsible for or to indemnify against any matter pursuant to this Agreement is
referred to herein as the "Indemnifying Party" and the other party or parties
claiming indemnity is referred to as the "Indemnified Party".
(a) An Indemnified Party under this Agreement shall, with respect to claims
asserted against such party by any third party, give written notice to the
Indemnifying Party of any liability which might give rise to a claim for
indemnity under this Agreement within sixty (60) business days of the receipt of
any written claim from any such third party, but not later than twenty (20) days
prior to the date any answer or responsive pleading is due, and with respect to
other matters for which the Indemnified Party may seek indemnification, give
prompt written notice to the Indemnifying Party of any liability which might
give rise to a claim for indemnity; provided, however, that any failure to give
such notice will not waive any rights of the Indemnified Party except to the
extent the rights of the Indemnifying Party are materially prejudiced.
(b) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its election, to take
over the defense or settlement of such claim by giving written notice to the
Indemnified Party at least fifteen (15) days prior to the time when an answer or
other responsive pleading or notice with respect thereto is required. If the
Indemnifying Party makes such election, it may conduct the defense of such claim
through counsel of its choosing (subject to the Indemnified Party's approval of
such counsel, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), shall be
solely responsible for the expenses of such defense and shall be bound by the
results of its defense or settlement of the claim. The Indemnifying Party shall
not settle any such claim without prior notice to and consultation with the
Indemnified Party, and no such settlement involving any equitable relief or
which might have an adverse effect on the Indemnified Party may be agreed to
without the written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld). So long as the Indemnifying Party is diligently
contesting any such claim in good faith, the Indemnified Party may pay or settle
such claim only at its own expense and the Indemnifying Party will not be
responsible for the fees of separate legal counsel to the Indemnified Party,
unless the named parties to any proceeding include both parties and
representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate. If
the Indemnifying Party does not make such election, or having made such election
does not, in the reasonable opinion of the Indemnified Party proceed diligently
to defend such claim, then the Indemnified Party may (after written notice to
the Indemnifying Party), at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, elect to take
over the defense of and proceed to handle such claim in its discretion and the
Indemnifying Party shall be bound by any defense or settlement that the
Indemnified Party may make in good faith with respect to such claim. In
connection therewith, the Indemnifying Party will fully cooperate with the
Indemnified Party should the Indemnified Party elect to take over the defense of
any such claim.
(c) The parties agree to cooperate in defending such third party claims and
the Indemnified Party shall provide such cooperation and such access to its
books, records and properties as the Indemnifying Party shall reasonably request
with respect to any matter for which indemnification is sought hereunder; and
the parties hereto agree to cooperate with each other in order to ensure the
proper and adequate defense thereof.
25
(d) With regard to claims of third parties for which indemnification is
payable hereunder, such indemnification shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party
upon the earlier to occur of: (i) the entry of a judgment against the
Indemnified Party and the expiration of any applicable appeal period, or if
earlier, five (5) days prior to the date that the judgment creditor has the
right to execute the judgment; (ii) the entry of an unappealable judgment or
final appellate decision against the Indemnified Party; or (iii) a settlement of
the claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided that there is no dispute as
to the applicability of indemnification, the reasonable expenses of counsel to
the Indemnified Party shall be reimbursed on a current basis by the Indemnifying
Party if such expenses are a liability of the Indemnifying Party. With regard to
other claims for which indemnification is payable hereunder, such
indemnification shall be paid promptly by the Indemnifying Party upon demand by
the Indemnified Party.

damages, whether accrued or unaccrued, asserted or unasserted, and whether known
or unknown, relating to AMI which ever existed or now exist, by reason of any
tort, breach of contract, violation of law or other act or failure to act which
shall have occurred at or prior to the Closing Date, or in relation to any other
liabilities of AMI to the AMI Insiders. The AMI Insiders expressly intend that
the foregoing release shall be effective regardless of whether the basis for any
claim or right hereby released shall have been known to or anticipated by the
AMI Insiders. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary
contained herein, the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.5 shall not apply
to claims against WARP for indemnification pursuant to this Article V to the
extent applicable.

Date"), provided the failure of the Closing to occur by such date is not the
result of the failure of the party seeking to terminate this Agreement to
perform or fulfill any of its obligations hereunder; (iii) by WARP or (upon the
vote of a majority thereof) the Sellers at any time at or prior to Closing in
their sole discretion if (1) any of the representations or warranties of AMI or
the AMI Insiders in this Agreement are not in all material respects true,
accurate and complete or if AMI or the AMI Insiders breach in any material
respect any covenant contained in this Agreement, provided that such
misrepresentation or breaches is not cured within ten (10) business days after

conditions precedent to WARP's obligations to conduct the Closing have not been
satisfied by the date required thereof; (iv) by AMI at any time at or prior to

breach in any material respect any covenant contained in this Agreement,

party all out-of-pocket expenses which such aggrieved party has incurred and the
termination of this Agreement shall not be deemed or construed as limiting or
denying any other legal or equitable right or remedy of such party.
ARTICLE VII
COVENANTS
7.1 General Confidentiality. The AMI Insiders and AMI acknowledge that the
Intellectual Property and all other confidential or proprietary information with
respect to the business and operations of WARP are valuable, special and unique
assets of WARP. The AMI Insiders, severally and not jointly, and AMI shall not,
at any time after the Closing Date, disclose, directly or indirectly, to any
Person, or use or purport to authorize any Person to use any confidential or
proprietary information with respect to WARP, whether or not for an AMI
Insider's or AMI's own benefit, without the prior written consent of WARP or
unless required by law, including without limitation, (i) trade secrets,
designs, formulae, drawings, Intellectual Property, diagrams, techniques,
research and development, specifications, data, know-how, formats, marketing
plans, business plans, budgets, strategies, forecasts and client data; (ii)
information relating to the products developed by WARP, (iii) the names of
WARP's customers and contacts, WARP's marketing strategies, the names of their
vendors and suppliers, the cost of materials and labor, the prices obtained for
products or services sold (including the methods used in price determination,
manufacturing and sales costs), lists or other written records used in WARP's
business, compensation paid to employees and consultants and other terms of
employment, production operation techniques or any other confidential
information of, about or pertaining to the business of WARP, and any other
information and material relating to any customer, vendor, licensor, licensee,
or other party transacting business with WARP, (iv) all tangible material that
embodies any confidential and proprietary information as well as all records,
files, memoranda, reports, price lists, drawings, plans, sketches and other
written and graphic records, documents, equipment, and the like, relating to the
business of WARP, and (vi) any other confidential information or trade secrets
relating to the business or affairs of WARP which the AMI Insiders or AMI may
acquire or develop in connection with or as a result of the performance of his
or its performance of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, excepting only
such information as is already known to the public or which may become known to
the public without any fault of the AMI Insiders or AMI or in violation of any
confidentiality restrictions; provided, however, that the restrictions of this
Section 7.1 shall not be applicable to any AMI Insider or AMI in connection with
such Parties' enforcement of its rights under this Agreement. The AMI Insiders
and AMI acknowledge that WARP would not enter into this Agreement without the
assurance that all such confidential and proprietary information will be used
for the exclusive benefit of WARP.
31
7.2 Continuing Obligations. The restrictions set forth in Sections 7.1 are
considered by the parties to be reasonable for the purposes of protecting the
value of the business and goodwill of WARP. The AMI Insiders, AMI and WARP
acknowledge that WARP would be irreparably harmed and that monetary damages
would not provide an adequate remedy to WARP in the event the covenants
contained in Section 7.1 were not complied with in accordance with their terms.
Accordingly, AMI Insiders and AMI agree that any breach or threatened breach by
any of them of any provision of Section 7.1 shall entitle WARP to injunctive and
other equitable relief to secure the enforcement of these provisions, in
addition to any other remedies (including damages) which may be available to
WARP. It is the desire and intent of the parties that the provisions of Section
7.1 be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public
policies of each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. If any provision
of Section 7.1 are adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable, the invalid or
unenforceable provisions shall be deemed amended (with respect only to the
jurisdiction in which such adjudication is made) in such manner as to render
them enforceable and to effectuate as nearly as possible the original intentions
and agreement of the parties. In addition, if any party brings an action to
enforce Section 7.1 hereof or to obtain damages for a breach thereof, the
prevailing party in such action shall be entitled to recover from the
non-prevailing party all reasonable attorney's fees and expenses incurred by the
prevailing party in such action.
7.3 SEC Filings and Exchange Listing. WARP and the WARP Insiders
acknowledge that AMI has a continuing interest in maintaining its compliance
with the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
"Exchange Act") and in maintaining a public trading market for AMI's common
stock on the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Bulletin Board, or
some other United States exchange. WARP and the WARP Insiders therefore agree,
for a period of three (3) years from the Closing Date, to use their best efforts
to file all periodic, current, and other, applicable reports and filings
required by the Exchange Act in a timely manner, including without limitation, a
Current Report on Form 8-K reporting the Closing and details of the Transaction
and the consolidated financial statements resulting therefrom. WARP and the WARP
Insiders further agree, for a period of three (3) years from the Closing Date,
to use their best efforts to maintain a public market for AMI's common stock on
the Bulletin Board, or such other United States exchange chosen by AMI after the
Closing in its sole discretion.
7.4 Lock-Up Agreements. The WARP Insiders hereby covenant and agree to
execute and be bound by the terms of certain Lock-Up Agreements on the exact
terms as contained in the form of such agreements attached hereto as Exhibit E
and to not amend, change or modify the terms of such agreements during their
term or otherwise seek to circumvent the purpose of such agreements without the
prior written consent of Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxx Xxxxxx and the other parties
thereto. The WARP Insiders agree that the provisions of this section shall
survive the Closing of the Transaction until the expiration of the term of such
Lock-Up Agreements.
7.5 Tax Treatment. Neither AMI, the AMI Insiders, WARP, the WARP Insiders
nor the Sellers will knowingly take any action, written or otherwise, which
would result in the transactions contemplated by this Agreement not being
accounted for as a tax-free exchange pursuant to Section 368(a)(1)(B) of the
Code.

8.2 Entire Agreement; Incorporation. This Agreement and the documents and
instruments and other agreements among the parties hereto as contemplated by or
referred to herein contain every obligation and understanding between the
parties relating to the subject matter hereof and merges all prior discussions,
negotiations, agreements and understandings, both written and oral, if any,
between them, and none of the parties shall be bound by any conditions,
definitions, understandings, warranties or representations other than as
expressly provided or referred to herein. All schedules, exhibits and other
documents and agreements executed and delivered pursuant hereto are incorporated

this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the

time of performance thereof extended, at any time by the party hereto entitled
to the benefit thereof, and any term, condition or covenant hereof (including,
without limitation, the period during which any condition is to be satisfied or
any obligation performed) may be amended by the parties thereto at any time. Any
such waiver, extension or amendment shall be evidenced by an instrument in
writing executed on behalf of the party against whom such waiver, extension or
amendment is sought to be charged. No waiver by any party hereto, whether
express or implied, of its rights under any provision of this Agreement shall
constitute a waiver of such party's rights under such provisions at any other
time or a waiver of such party's rights under any other provision of this
Agreement. No failure by any party thereof to take any action against any breach
of this Agreement or default by another party shall constitute a waiver of the
former party's right to enforce any provision of this Agreement or to take
action against such breach or default or any subsequent breach or default by
such other party.
8.6 No Third Party Beneficiary. Nothing expressed or implied in this
Agreement is intended, or shall be construed, to confer upon or give any Person
other than the parties hereto and their respective heirs, personal
representatives, legal representatives, successors and permitted assigns, any
rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement, except as otherwise
provided herein.
34
8.7 Severability. In the event that any one or more of the provisions
contained in this Agreement, or the application thereof, shall be declared
invalid, void or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the
remainder of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and the
application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances will be
interpreted so as reasonably to effect the intent of the parties hereto. The
parties further agree to replace such invalid, void or unenforceable provision
with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent
possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such invalid, void or
unenforceable provision.
8.8 Expenses. Except as otherwise provided herein, each party agrees to
pay, without right of reimbursement from the other party, the costs incurred by

consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, including, without

deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby,
or by law or equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party of any one
remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. The parties hereto
agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the
provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their
specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the
parties shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent

construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York,

35
8.14 Jurisdiction and Venue. This Agreement shall be subject to the
exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of New York County, New York. The parties

directors, employees or agents or to any other Sellers and shall be limited to
the Consideration Shares actually received by such Seller (or, if applicable,
