Except as set forth on Schedule 5.7, the Seller solely owns or has the right to license all of the Multi-Use Patents and New Technical Materials (as defined in the License Agreement), purported to be licensed to the Purchaser pursuant to the License Agreement, without the grant of such license causing any infringement or misappropriation of any U.S. intellectual property rights of any Person or any breach of any contract to which the Seller is a party, and, except as set forth on Schedule 5.7, no consent of any Person is required in connection with the licenses contemplated thereunder. The patents, copyrights and trade secrets (“Intellectual Property”) included in the Acquisition Assets or otherwise assigned or licensed to Kawasaki under the License Agreement constitute all of the Intellectual Property owned or licensed by the Seller necessary to continue the manufacture of Xonon Modules, as such manufacturing was conducted by Seller in the U.S. in the ordinary course of business prior to the Closing Date. To the knowledge of the Seller, no Person is infringing the rights of the Seller in any Assigned Patents, Multi-Use Patents or New Technical Materials.

Section 5.8 Assumed Agreements. Attached hereto as Schedule 5.8 are true, complete and correct copies of the Xxxxxxxx Agreement and the CEC Agreements, in each case as amended, together with a detailed payment history therefor. Each of the Xxxxxxxx Agreement and the CEC Agreements is in full force and effect and each constitutes a legal, valid and binding agreement of Seller and of each other party thereto, enforceable in accordance with its terms, and no term or condition thereof has been amended from the form attached hereto. There are no defaults by Seller under any of its obligations under the Xxxxxxxx Agreement or any CEC Agreement and no events have occurred that with the lapse of time or action or inaction by any party thereto would result in any violations thereof or any defaults thereunder. There is no action to which Seller is a party in which relief is sought involving, affecting or relating in

any manner to the Xxxxxxxx Agreement or any CEC Agreement and, to the knowledge of Seller, there is no litigation, action, suit, proceeding or governmental investigation pending or threatened against Seller (orally or in writing) involving, affecting or relating to the Xxxxxxxx Agreement or any CEC Agreement. Except as indicated in Schedule 5.8, none of Seller’s rights under the Xxxxxxxx Agreement or any CEC Agreement will be impaired by the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and all such rights will inure to and be enforceable by Purchaser after the Closing Date without any authorization, approval, permission or license of, or filing with, any other Person.

Section 5.9 Condition of Assets. Except as indicated on Schedule 5.9, the Acquisition Assets described in clause (a) of Section 2.1 consist of a quality and quantity usable and salable in the ordinary course of business. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Purchaser’s inability to sell any of the Acquisition Assets described in clause (a) of Section 2.1 due to a breach of Seller’s Non-Infringement Representation will be deemed a breach of this Section 5.9. For purposes of Section 8.1 hereof, the preceding sentence shall survive the Closing for the same period as Seller’s Non-Infringement Representation.

ARTICLE 6

CERTAIN UNDERSTANDINGS AND AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES

Section 6.1 Pre-Closing Covenants.

Seller shall immediately provide the Purchaser with written notice of any Acquisition Proposal, which notice shall include the terms of any such Acquisition Proposal. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.1(c), the Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that Seller may, without the consent of the Purchaser and without violating this Section 6.1(c), offer for sale or sell (i) all or any portion of the common stock of Seller or (ii) all or any portion of the assets of Seller other than the Acquisition Assets, provided that any such sale of equity or assets shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the License Agreement for as long as such agreements shall be outstanding.

Section 6.4 Further Assurances. The Seller and the Purchaser shall execute and deliver to the other, after the Closing Date, any other instrument which may be reasonably requested by the other and which is reasonably appropriate to perfect or evidence any of the sales, assignments, transfers or conveyances contemplated by this Agreement or to obtain any consents reasonably necessary for the Purchaser to manufacture the Xonon Modules, as such manufacturing was conducted by Seller in the U.S. in the ordinary course of business prior to the Closing Date. Seller agrees to execute any documents reasonably requested by Purchaser that might be helpful or necessary to perfect or evidence the Purchaser’s ownership of the Assigned Patents and its associated Technical Information. If the Purchaser notifies Seller in writing that the intellectual property laws of a country require the consent of a joint owner of an Assigned Patent to perfect the Purchaser’s ownership interest in such Assigned Patent, Seller shall be responsible for acquiring the consent of such joint owner within a reasonable time thereafter; provided, however, that nothing in this paragraph shall require Seller to seek the authorization of any non-U.S. governmental entity unless requested in writing by the Purchaser at the Purchaser’s sole cost and expense. If for any reason, Seller does not or is unable to execute such further documents within ten (10) days of the Purchaser’s written request, the Seller hereby irrevocably appoints the Purchaser as its attorney-in-fact (which appointment is coupled with an interest) to execute and deliver any assignments, applications or other instruments to protect and vest title in the Assigned Patents and its associated Technical Information fully in the Purchaser. Without the consent of the Seller, which consent will not unreasonably be withheld, the obligations under this Section 6.4 will expire two years from the Closing.

Section 6.5 Expenses and Fees. The Seller shall pay all costs and expenses incurred by the Seller in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, any and all broker’s commissions, employee bonuses and the fees and expenses of the Seller’s attorneys and accountants, and will make all necessary arrangements so that the Purchaser will not be charged with any such cost or expense.

Section 6.6 Public Statements. Except as required by law or regulation in accordance with the advice of their respective counsel and except as permitted in Section 6.13, the Parties shall obtain the written consent of the other prior to issuing any press release or any written public statement with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and shall not issue any such press release or written public statement prior to such consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld.

Section 6.7 Tax Covenants.

(a) Tax Returns. The Seller will be responsible for the preparation and filing of all Tax Returns for the Seller for all periods as to which Tax Returns are due after the Closing Date (including the consolidated, unitary, and combined Tax Returns for the Seller which include the operations of the Acquisition Assets for any period ending on or before the Closing Date). The Seller will make all payments required with respect to any such Tax Returns.

(b) Cooperation. Following the Closing, the Parties shall use all reasonable efforts to cooperate with each other and their respective representatives, in a prompt and timely manner, in conjunction with any audit or other examination by any Tax authority or any Proceeding involving any Tax Return (collectively, the “Tax Disputes”) relating to the Acquisition Assets and relating to any Taxes (i) filed or required to be filed by or for the Seller for any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date, or (ii) filed or required to be filed by or for the Purchaser for any taxable period ending after the Closing Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Seller shall retain control of any Tax Dispute to the extent such Tax Dispute arises out of or is related to events or circumstances prior to the Closing, and the Purchaser shall retain control of any Tax Dispute to the extent such Tax Dispute arises out of or is related to events or circumstances after the Closing. Such cooperation shall include, but not be limited to making available to one another during normal business hours, and within five (5) business days of any reasonable request therefore, all books, records and information, and the assistance of all officers and employees, reasonably required in connection with any Proceeding with regard to Taxes or any Tax Dispute. The Parties hereto agree to conduct any investigation or examination hereunder without causing any material interference or disruption of the operations of the business of any other Party hereto or their Affiliates. The Seller will retain, until the expiration of the applicable statutes of limitation (including any extensions thereof) copies of all Tax Returns, supporting work schedules and other records relating to Taxes for all taxable years or periods (or portions thereof) ending on or prior to the Closing Date.

(c) Certain Taxes and Fees. All excise, sales, use, transfer (including real property transfer or gains), stamp, documentary, filing, recordation and other similar taxes,

together with any interest, additions or penalties with respect thereto and any interest in respect of such additions or penalties, resulting directly from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Transfer Taxes”), shall be paid by the Seller when due, and the Seller will, at its own expense, file all necessary Tax Returns, and other documentation with respect to all such Taxes, fees and charges, and, if required by applicable law, the Purchaser will, and will cause its Affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation.

Section 6.8 Mutual Releases. Subject only to the obligations of the Parties under this Agreement, the License Agreement and the Confidentiality Agreement referenced in Section 6.13, effective as of the Closing Date, the Seller, on the one hand, and the Purchaser and KGT-A, on the other, hereby release and forever discharge each other and the other’s respective heirs, representatives, successors and assigns, officers, directors, employees, agents, stockholders, controlling persons and Affiliates for, from and against any and all claims, present and future, known and unknown, including without limitation under each of the following agreements, in each case as amended: (i) that certain Xonon Module Supply Agreement by and among the Parties and KGT-A dated December 13, 2000, as amended as of July 2, 2003; (ii) that certain Technology Development and Transfer Agreement by and between the Parties dated as of December 13, 2000 (“TDTA”); and (iii) that certain Amended and Restated Support Agreement by and between Seller and KGT-A dated as of October 6, 2003.

Section 6.9 Non-competition.

(a) The Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Purchaser would not have entered into this Agreement or the License Agreement if the Seller had not agreed to this non-competition covenant; and (ii) Seller has had access to information that is confidential to the Purchaser, which constitutes a valuable, special and unique asset of the Purchaser, and with respect to which the Purchaser is entitled to the protections afforded by this Agreement and to the remedies for enforcement of this Agreement provided by law or in equity (including, without limitation, those remedies the availability of which may be within the discretion of the court or arbitrator that presides over any action for enforcement of this Agreement is brought).

(b) For a period of five (5) years following the Closing Date (the “Covenant Period”), the Seller agrees that it will not, directly or indirectly (through any entity or other Person), and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries not to, directly or indirectly, acting alone or as a member of a partnership, as a holder or owner of any security, as an employee, agent, advisor, consultant to, independent contractor to, representative, or in any other capacity within North America, South America or Central America (collectively, the “Territory”), engage in the Business. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in this Agreement, none of the restrictions or limitations in this Section 6.9 shall be applicable to (i) any Person that acquires Seller, by merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of its assets, purchase or other acquisition of a majority of Seller’s outstanding voting securities or otherwise, which Person was not an Affiliate of Seller prior to such acquisition, or (ii) any Person that acquires any of Seller’s

assets, whether by purchase or by sale in connection with any reorganization or liquidation of Seller, which Person was not an Affiliate of Seller prior to such acquisition.

(c) Seller agrees that it will not (directly or indirectly through any entity or other Person), and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries not to, directly or indirectly, acting alone or as a member of a partnership, as a holder or owner of any security, as an employee, agent, advisor, consultant to, representative, or in any other capacity (i) cause or attempt to cause to leave the employment or service of the Purchaser or its Subsidiaries, any person who is then employed by the Purchaser or its Subsidiaries in a business unit that engages in the Business, provided that the foregoing shall not be deemed to prevent general employment solicitations by Seller, or (ii) request that any such person, or any agent or independent contractor of the Purchaser or its Subsidiaries curtail or cancel its business or refrain from doing business with the Purchaser or its Subsidiaries. For purposes of this Section 6.9(c), “Subsidiaries” of Purchaser shall include (i) those Subsidiaries of Purchase whose corporate name includes the name “Kawasaki,” (ii) those Subsidiaries of Purchaser that Purchaser has informed Seller in writing are Subsidiaries of Purchaser and (iii) those Subsidiaries of Purchaser that Seller is aware are Subsidiaries of Purchaser.

(d) Without limiting the generality of the provisions of this Section 6.9, the Seller shall be deemed to be carrying on or engaged in a particular business if it (whether alone or in association with one or more other Persons) is a partner, owner, stockholder, independent contractor or joint venturer of, or a consultant or lender to, or an investor in any manner in, any Person who or which is directly engaged in the Business.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.9, the Seller may own, solely as an investment, securities if the Seller (A) is not an Affiliate of the issuer of such securities and (B) does not, directly or indirectly, beneficially own more than 5%, in the aggregate, of the class of which securities are a part.

(f) The Seller acknowledges and agrees that the limitations imposed by this non-competition covenant as to time, geographical area, and scope of activity being restrained are reasonable and do not impose a greater restraint than is necessary to protect the goodwill or other business interest of the Purchaser. If any court of competent jurisdiction determines that any of such covenants, provisions, or portions of the Agreement, or any part thereof, are unenforceable and invalid, then (a) the validity and enforceability of any remaining covenants, provisions or portions thereof shall not be affected by such determination, (b) those of such covenants, provisions, or portions that are determined to be unenforceable because of the duration or scope thereof shall be severed and/or reformed by the court to reduce there duration or scope so as to render the same enforceable against Seller, and (c) all remaining covenants, provisions, portions and terms of the Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Section 6.10 Conduct of Business by Seller after Closing. Except upon the prior written consent of the Purchaser (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) to the Seller’s provision of an escrow of funds, irrevocable letter of credit or other arrangement acceptable to the Purchaser that provides assurances that Seller’s indemnification obligations under Article 8 will be satisfied, after the Closing Date, Seller shall:

(i) maintain an amount of not less than $2,000,000 in immediately available funds with the Seller until the later of (a) one (1) year following the Closing Date, or (b) the date that any action commenced by a Purchaser Indemnified Party against the Seller pursuant to Section 8.3 hereof no later than one (1) year following the Closing Date has been resolved; and

Section 6.11 Specific Performance. The Purchaser and the Seller hereby agree that if the Seller violates or threatens to violate any of the provisions of Section 6.9, it would be difficult to determine the entire cost, damage or injury which the Purchaser would sustain. The Seller acknowledges that if it violates or threatens to violate any of the provisions of Section 6.9 of this Agreement, the Purchaser may have no adequate remedy at law. In that event, the Purchaser shall have the right, in addition to any other rights that may be available to it, to seek in any court of competent jurisdiction injunctive relief to restrain any violation or threatened violation by the Seller of Section 6.9 this Agreement or to compel specific performance by the Seller of its obligations under Section 6.9 of this Agreement. The seeking or obtaining by the Purchaser of such injunctive relief shall not foreclose or in any way limit the right of the Purchaser to obtain a money judgment against the Seller for any damage to the Purchaser that may result from any breach by the Seller of any provision of Section 6.9 of this Agreement.

Section 6.12 Intellectual Property. Whether the Assigned Patents shall be preserved and maintained or registered in the U.S. or any foreign country shall be at the sole discretion of the Purchaser. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Seller agrees that it retains no rights in the Assigned Patents or the associated Technical Information that is applicable solely to Small Gas Turbines and not applicable to other products or technologies. Except as provided in Section 6.4, Seller shall be responsible for procuring, prior to the Closing, any and all consents necessary to permit the assignment of the Assigned Patents as contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 6.13 Confidentiality. Each Party shall protect the confidentiality of the terms and conditions of this Agreement using the same level of care that it uses to protect its own similar confidential information, but in no event less than reasonable care. Further, the Parties agree that the Confidentiality Agreement by and between the Parties dated November 2, 2005 shall continue in full force and effect. The Parties understand that the Seller is subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and that a copy of this Agreement and the License Agreement shall be filed by the Seller with the Securities and Exchange Commission promptly following the execution and delivery of this Agreement.

violation or breach by Seller of, or default by Seller under, the terms of this Agreement or of any certificate, instrument or agreement delivered in connection with this Agreement, including without limitation, the License Agreement, (c) any act or omission by the Seller or any director, officer, employee, agent or representative of the Seller occurring or commencing on or prior to the Closing Date (including any claim by a third party, including employees and customers arising out of or related to any act or omission by the Seller or any director, officer, employee, agent or representative of the Seller occurring on or prior to the Closing Date), (d) any and all Taxes (including, without limitation, the Seller’s pro rata portion of ad valorem Taxes and any and all Taxes relating to the consummation of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby) involving, affecting, arising out of or relating to the ownership or operation of the Acquisition Assets for periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date, (e) the Excluded Liabilities and (f) in the event of an action by any third party against the Purchaser Indemnified Parties or Purchaser’s sublicensees containing a claim that, if proven, would constitute a breach of Seller’s Non-Infringement Representation, Seller shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Purchaser Indemnified Parties and the Purchaser’s sublicensees but only as to that claim. The foregoing subsection (f) shall not apply to claims arising out of (i) modifications after the Effective Date to the Xonon Modules, Technical Information associated therewith, Licensed Technical Materials (as such terms are defined in the License Agreement) or other Acquisition Assets that without such modifications would not constitute such a breach, or (ii) combinations after the Effective Date of the Xonon Modules, Technical Information associated therewith, Licensed Technical Materials or other Acquisition Assets with other products or technologies that without such combinations would not constitute such a breach. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Seller shall be entitled to control the defense and settlement of that portion of the action constituting a claim described in this Section 8.1(f), provided that such a settlement would not result in an admission of liability by any member of the aforementioned indemnitees. Any settlement that would restrict the rights of such indemnitees in or to the Assigned Patents or Technical Information associated therewith, Licensed Patents, or Licensed Technical Materials or result in a financial obligation by any member of such indemnities shall require the prior written consent of the Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Section 8.2 Purchaser’s Indemnity Obligations. The Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Seller and the Seller’s officers, directors, stockholders, employees, agents, representatives and Affiliates (each a “Seller Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all Indemnified Amounts paid, imposed on, required by statutory or other legal authority, or incurred by a Seller Indemnified Party, directly or indirectly, relating to, resulting from or arising out of (a) any breach or misrepresentation in any of the representations and warranties made by or on behalf of the Purchaser in this Agreement or in any certificate or instrument delivered in connection with this Agreement, , including without limitation, the License Agreement, (b) any violation or breach by the Purchaser of, or default by the Purchaser under the terms of, this Agreement or of any certificate or instrument delivered in connection with this Agreement, (c) any act or omission by the Purchaser or any of its directors, officers, employees, agents or representatives, occurring or commencing after the Closing Date, including any claim by a third party, including employees and customers arising out of or related to any act or omission by the Purchaser or any of its directors, officers, employees, agents or representatives occurring after the Closing Date, and (d) the Assumed Liabilities.

Section 8.3 Indemnification Procedures. All claims for indemnification under this Agreement shall be asserted and resolved as follows:

(a) Any of the Parties claiming indemnification under this Agreement (an “Indemnified Party”) shall with reasonable promptness (i) notify the Party from whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the basis for the indemnity demand, including without limitation, any Indemnity Claim or claims asserted against the Indemnified Party or statutory or regulatory basis for supporting the demand for indemnification (“Indemnity Claim”) for which indemnification is sought and (ii) transmit to the Indemnifying Party a copy of all papers served with respect to such claim (if any) and a written notice (“Claim Notice”) containing a description in reasonable detail of the nature of the Indemnity Claim, an estimate of the amount of damages attributable to the Indemnity Claim to the extent feasible (which estimate shall not be conclusive of the final amount of such claim) and the basis of the Indemnified Party’s request for indemnification under this Agreement. It shall not be necessary for any Party to expend any sum of money or pursue any third party to final judgment to enforce the indemnity provisions hereof.

Within 15 days after receipt of any Claim Notice (the “Election Period”), the Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnified Party (i) whether the Indemnifying Party disputes its potential Liability to the Indemnified Party with respect to such Indemnity Claim and (ii) whether the Indemnifying Party desires, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, to defend the Indemnified Party against such Indemnity Claim.

If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within the Election Period that the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of the Indemnity Claim, then the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend, at its sole cost and expense, such Indemnity Claim by all appropriate Proceedings, which Proceedings shall be prosecuted diligently by the Indemnifying Party to a final conclusion or settled at the discretion of the Indemnifying Party in accordance with this Section 8.3(a). The Indemnifying Party shall have full control of such defense and Proceedings. To the extent the Indemnifying Party fails to defend the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party is hereby authorized, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, to file, within fifteen (15) days after expiration of the Election Period, any motion, answer or other pleadings that the Indemnified Party shall reasonably deem necessary or appropriate to protect its interests. If requested by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party agrees to cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in contesting any Indemnity Claim that the Indemnifying Party elects to contest, including, without limitation, the making of any related counterclaim against the person asserting the Indemnity Claim or any cross complaint against any person; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall be responsible for the costs of such cooperation incurred by the Indemnified Party. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Indemnified Party may participate in, but not control, any defense or settlement of any Indemnity Claim controlled by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Section 8.3 and shall bear its own costs and expenses with respect to such participation.

If the Indemnifying Party fails to notify the Indemnified Party within the Election Period that the Indemnifying Party elects to defend the Indemnified Party pursuant to the preceding paragraph, or if the Indemnifying Party elects to defend the Indemnified Party but fails to vigorously prosecute or settle the Indemnity Claim as herein provided or if the Indemnified Party reasonably

objects to such election on the grounds that counsel for such Indemnifying Party cannot represent both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Parties because such representation would be reasonably likely to result in a conflict of interest, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to defend, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnity Claim by all appropriate Proceedings, which Proceedings shall be promptly and vigorously prosecuted by the Indemnified Party to a final conclusion or settled. In such a situation, the Indemnified Party shall have full control of such defense and Proceedings and the Indemnifying Party may participate in, but not control, any defense or settlement controlled by the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 8.3, and the Indemnifying Party shall bear its own costs and expenses with respect to such participation.

The Indemnifying Party shall not settle or compromise any Indemnity Claim unless (i) the terms of such compromise or settlement require no more than the payment of money (i.e., such compromise or settlement does not require the Indemnified Party to admit any wrongdoing or take or refrain from taking any action), (ii) the full amount of such monetary compromise or settlement will be paid by the Indemnifying Party, and (iii) the Indemnified Party receives as part of such settlement a legal, binding and enforceable unconditional satisfaction and/or release, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to it, providing that such Indemnity Claim and any claimed Liability of the Indemnified Party with respect thereto is being fully satisfied by reason of such compromise or settlement and that the Indemnified Party is being released from any and all obligations or liabilities it may have with respect thereto. The Indemnified Party shall not settle or admit Liability to any Indemnity Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party unless (x) the Indemnifying Party has disputed its potential Liability to the Indemnified Party, and such dispute either has not been resolved or has been resolved in favor of the Indemnifying Party or (y) the Indemnifying Party has failed to respond to the Indemnified Party’s Claim Notice.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary within this Section 8.3 or Agreement, both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party agree to reasonably cooperate in resolving any dispute or claim that triggers this Indemnification provision.

Section 8.4 Limitations on Defense to the Claims of the Purchaser. TO THE EXTENT THAT THE PURCHASER MAKES ANY CLAIMS AGAINST THE SELLER UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 8.1, THE SELLER MAY NOT ASSERT AND HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVE AS A DEFENSE, COUNTERCLAIM, OR OTHERWISE THAT THE PURCHASER HAS BEEN NEGLIGENT IN CONDUCTING ITS DUE DILIGENCE OF ANY ASPECT OF THE SELLER OR HAS FAILED TO CONDUCT ITS DUE DILIGENCE IN A PROPER OR ADEQUATE MANNER.

Section 8.5 Limitation of Liability.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Article 8, except as set forth in clause (c) below, the aggregate liability of Seller or the Purchaser for all events or occurrences giving rise to a right of indemnification under Section 8.1 or 8.2 of this Agreement or the License Agreement shall be limited to the Purchase Price.

(b) An indemnified party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 8.1 or Section 8.2, as applicable, only to the extent that the Indemnified Amount, individually or in the aggregate, exceeds $50,000, subject to the limitation set forth in Section 8.5(a).

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the foregoing cap in clause (a) above shall not apply to (i) Excluded Liabilities; (ii) only with respect to liabilities arising after the Closing Date, Assumed Liabilities; (iii) liabilities arising out of or in connection with any breach by the Purchaser of Sections 2 (License) or 3 (Xonon Trademark) of the License Agreement; or (iv) any Indemnified Amount arising from fraud or any knowing breach by Seller or the Purchaser, provided that such party has (x) been notified in writing by the other party of such breach and (y) has failed to remedy such breach within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice.

Section 8.6 Remedies Exclusive. Except for (i) equitable remedies, including specific performance (ii) cases of fraud and (iii) cases of knowing breach of a Party’s covenants or obligations hereunder (including any failure to pay an amount required to be paid hereunder) in cases where such party has (x) been notified in writing by the other party of such breach and (y) has failed to remedy such breach within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice, the remedies provided for in this Article 8 shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy for any post-Closing claims made for breach of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any of the Schedules or Exhibits attached hereto or in any of the certificates or other instruments or documents furnished by any Party pursuant to this Agreement.
