Each of Parent and Merger Sub have all requisite corporate power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by each of Parent and Merger Sub and the consummation by each of Parent and Merger Sub of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or limited liability company action on the part of each of Parent and Merger Sub. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by each of Parent and Merger Sub and, when duly executed and delivered by each of Company Parent and Company, shall constitute a valid and binding obligation of each of Parent and Merger Sub, enforceable against Parent and Merger Sub in accordance with its terms. Other than as set forth on Schedule 5.4, the execution and delivery of this Agreement do not, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and compliance with the provisions hereof will not, conflict with, or result in any breach or violation of, or default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) under, or give rise to a right of termination, cancellation or acceleration of or “put” right with respect to any obligation or to a loss of a material benefit under, or result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the properties or assets of Parent or Merger Sub under, (i) the Charter Documents of each of Parent and Merger Sub, (ii) any loan or credit agreement, note, bond, mortgage, indenture, lease or other agreement, instrument, Permit, concession, franchise or license applicable to Parent or Merger Sub or the properties or assets of either, or (iii) subject to the governmental filings and other matters referred to in Section 5.5, any judgment, Order, decree, statute, Law, ordinance, rule, regulation or arbitration award applicable to either Parent or Merger Sub, each of its properties or assets, that, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), individually or in the aggregate, would have a Material Adverse Effect with respect to such Person.

5.12 Tax Returns and Tax Payments.
(a) Each Parent Entity has timely (taking into account all applicable extensions) filed with the appropriate taxing authorities all Tax Returns required to be filed by it and otherwise provided to the appropriate Persons all Tax Returns required to be provided by it, other than Tax Returns the failure to so file or provide would not, in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect on Parent. All such Tax Returns are true, correct and complete. All Taxes due and owing by each Parent Entity have been paid(whether or not shown or required to be shown on any Tax Return). No Parent Entity is currently the beneficiary of any extension of time within which to file any Tax Return or pay any Tax.
(b) The Taxes of the Parent Entities did not, as of the Parent Balance Sheet Date, materially exceed the reserve for Tax liability (excluding any reserve for deferred Taxes established to reflect timing differences between book and Tax income) set forth on the face of the most recent balance sheet included in the Parent Financial Statements (rather than in any notes thereto). Since the Parent Balance Sheet Date, the Parent Entities have not incurred any liability for Taxes outside the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice. The unpaid Taxes of the Parent Entities due or that will be due in respect of any Tax period (or portion thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date will not exceed the reserve (as of the Closing Date) for Tax liability (excluding any reserve for deferred Taxes established to reflect timing differences between book and Tax income) set forth on the books and records of the Parent. No extension of time to file a Tax Return of a Parent Entity, which Tax Return of such Parent Entity has not since been filed in accordance with applicable law, has been filed. There is no power of attorney in effect with respect or relating to any Tax of any Parent Entity or Tax Return of any Parent Entity.
(c) Each Parent Entity has withheld all material amounts required to be withheld on account of Taxes in connection with amounts paid or owing to any employee, independent contractor, creditor, stockholder or other third party. All amounts so withheld have been paid over to or for the benefit of the appropriate Taxing Authority in connection with applicable procedures, or are being held by the relevant Parent Entity pending timely payment to or for the benefit of the appropriate taxing authority in connection with applicable procedures.
(d) No claim has ever been made in writing or, to the Knowledge of Parent, otherwise addressed to a Parent Entity by a taxing authority in a jurisdiction where such Parent Entity does not file Tax Returns that it is or may be subject to taxation by that jurisdiction. No material claim for unpaid Taxes has been made or asserted in writing or, to the Knowledge of the Parent, otherwise against a Parent Entity. There are no liens for Taxes against the property of a Parent Entity other than liens for Taxes not yet due. No audit or other similar proceeding involving a Parent Entity with respect to Taxes is being conducted by any Taxing Authority or, to the Knowledge of Parent, has been threatened. No extension of the statute of limitations on the assessment of any Taxes has been granted by a Parent Entity and is currently in effect. No power of attorney granted by a Parent Entity with respect to a Tax matter is outstanding and effective.
24
(e) No Parent Entity is a party to a Tax sharing or Tax allocation agreement pursuant to which it could have any liability following the Closing. No Parent Entity has liability for the Taxes of another Person (i) under Treasury Regulations 1.1502-6, or any similar provision of state, local or non-U.S. law, (ii) as a transferee or successor, (iii) by contract or (iv) otherwise.
(f) No Parent Entity has participated in a “reportable transaction,” as such term is defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.6011-4(b)(1), or a “listed transaction,” as such term is defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.6011-4(b)(2).
(g) No Parent Entity has received a ruling from any taxing authority or entered into an agreement with any taxing authority.
(h) No Parent Entity is required to include amounts in income as a result of a change in accounting method occurring before the Closing Date or will be required to include amounts in income following the Closing as a result of installment sales or “open transactions” entered into, or prepaid amounts, refund or credit received, before the Closing.
(i) No Parent Entity (or predecessor of a Parent Entity) has been a party to or has distributed stock of another Person, nor has any stock of a Parent Entity (or any predecessor of a Parent Entity) been distributed by another Person, in a transaction that was purported or intended to be governed in whole or in part by Code Section 355 or Code Section 361.
(j) Merger Sub is and always has been a disregarded entity for federal income Tax purposes and no election has been made to treat Merger Sub as other than a disregarded entity for any state income Tax purposes.
5.13 Environmental Matters. Except for such matters as would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect on Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, (i) Parent and each of its Subsidiaries is in compliance with all Environmental Laws; (ii) none of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries has received any written notice regarding any violation of any Environmental Laws, including any investigatory, remedial or corrective obligations; (iii) Parent and each of its Subsidiaries hold all Permits and authorizations required under applicable Environmental Laws and are in compliance with all terms, conditions and provisions of all such Permits and authorizations; (iv) to the Knowledge of Parent and Merger Sub, no releases of Hazardous Materials have occurred at, from, in, to, on or under any real property currently or formerly owned, operated or leased by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or any predecessor thereof and no Hazardous Materials are present in, on, about or migrating to or from any such property; (v) neither Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries has transported or arranged for the treatment, storage, handling, disposal, or transportation of any Hazardous Material to any off-site location; (vi) none of Parent of any of its Subsidiaries has any liability, absolute or contingent, under any Environmental Law; and (vii) there are no past, pending or, to the Knowledge of Parent, threatened claims under Environmental Laws against Parent or any of its Subsidiaries and neither Parent nor Merger Sub is aware of any facts or circumstances that would reasonably be expected to result in a liability or claim against Parent or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to Environmental Laws.

Parent is not and has not received any written notice, and has no Knowledge that any other party is, in default under any Parent Material Contract, and to the Knowledge of Parent, there has not occurred any event that, with the lapse of time or the giving of notice or both, would constitute a default under any Parent Material Contract, in either case that would (a) permit any other party to cancel or terminate such Parent Material Contract (with or without notice of passage of time) or (b) provide a basis for any other party to claim money damages in excess of $50,000 (either individually or in the aggregate with all other such claims under such Parent Material Contract) or (c) give rise to a right of acceleration of any material obligation or loss of any material benefit under any such Parent Material Contract. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Parent Material Contract” means any Contract to which the Parent is a party (i) with expected receipts or expenditures in excess of $50,000, (ii) requiring the Parent to indemnify any Person, (iii) affecting capital stock of Parent, or (iv) evidencing indebtedness for borrowed or loaned money in excess of $50,000, including guarantees of such indebtedness.

ARTICLE 11.
SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS; INDEMNIFICATION
11.1 Survival. The representations and warranties of the Company set forth in ARTICLE 4 and the representations and warranties of Parent and Merger Sub set forth in ARTICLE 5 shall survive the Effective Time and shall remain in full force and effect until the Claims Deadline, whereupon they shall terminate, subject only to the last sentence of this Section 11.1; provided that the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in Sections 4.3, 4.4 and 4.12 and the representations and warranties of Parent and Merger Sub set forth in Sections 5.3, 5.4, 5.12 and 6.6 shall remain in full force and effect until the sixth anniversary of the Closing Date, whereupon they shall terminate, subject only to the last sentence of this Section 11.1. None of the other representations and warranties of any party contained in this Agreement or in any instrument delivered under this Agreement will survive the Effective Time. This Section 11.1 does not limit any covenant of the parties which, by its terms, contemplates performance after the Effective Time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any claims asserted in good faith with reasonable specificity (to the extent known at such time) and in writing by notice from the non-breaching party to the breaching party prior to the Claims Deadline shall not thereafter be barred by the expiration of such survival period and such claims shall survive until finally resolved.
11.2 Indemnification by Parent. Subject to the other terms and conditions of this ARTICLE 11, Parent shall indemnify the Company Parent and the direct and indirect holders of interests in the Company Parent (together, the “Company Indemnified Parties”) and hold them harmless from and against any loss, liability, claim, damage, expense (including costs of investigation and attorneys’ fees and accountants’ fees) or diminution of value (collectively, “Damages”) solely attributable to (i) any breach of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty made by Parent or Merger Sub in ARTICLE 5 of this Agreement, (ii) the failure of Parent or Merger Sub to perform any covenant or obligation by Parent or Merger Sub contained in this Agreement or any other agreement required to be executed and delivered by Parent or Merger Sub at the Closing pursuant to this Agreement, and (iii) any Pre-Closing Taxes of any Parent Entity, together with any reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses (including documented attorneys’ and accountants’ fees) incurred in connection therewith. Other than claims based on fraud or for specific performance, injunctive or other equitable relief, the indemnity provided in this ARTICLE 11 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Company Indemnified Parties against Parent and Merger Sub at law or equity for any matter covered by this Section 11.2.
11.3 Payment of Damages by Parent. In the event that the Company Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this ARTICLE 11, Parent shall, within thirty (30) days after the final determination of the amount of such Damages, issue to the Company Parent that number of additional shares of Parent Common Stock equal to (v) the amount of such Damages divided by (w) the Fair Market Value per share of Parent Common Stock as of the date of such issuance (the “Determination Date”), multiplied by the quotient of (x) one divided by (y) one less a fraction (i) the numerator of which is the value of the Merger Consideration on the date of such issuance and (ii) the denominator is the sum of the value of the Merger Consideration plus the value of the Parent Common Stock not held by the Company Parent, each on the date of such issuance. For purposes of this ARTICLE 11, “Fair Market Value” shall mean, with respect to a share of Parent Common Stock or Parent Series B Preferred Stock on any Determination Date, the average of the daily closing price of a share of Parent Common Stock for the ten (10) consecutive business days prior to such Determination Date. The closing price for each day shall be the last sales price or in case no sale takes place on such day, the average of the closing high bid and low asked prices, in either case (a) as officially quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, the NYSE Amex, the NASDAQ Stock Market or such other market on which the Parent Common Stock is then listed for trading or quoted, or (b) if, in the reasonable judgment of the Board of Directors of Parent, the OTC Bulletin Board, the NYSE Amex or the NASDAQ Stock Market is no longer the principal United States market for the Parent Common Stock, then as quoted on the principal United States market for the Parent Common Stock as determined by the Board of Directors of Parent.
45
11.4 Indemnification by Company Parent. Subject to the other terms and conditions of this ARTICLE 11, Company Parent shall indemnify Parent and hold Parent harmless from and against any Damages solely attributable to (i) any breach of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty made by the Company or the Company Parent in ARTICLE 4 of this Agreement, (ii) the failure of the Company or the Company Parent to perform any covenant or obligation by the Company or the Company Parent contained in this Agreement or any other agreement required to be executed and delivered by the Company or Company Parent at the Closing pursuant to this Agreement, and (iii) any Pre-Closing Taxes of the Company (other than Pre-Closing Taxes attributable to the ownership and exercise, after the date hereof, of rights, including, without limitation, the conduct or settlement of litigation, with respect to the patents set forth on Schedule 6.5), together with any reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses (including documented attorneys’ and accountants’ fees) incurred in connection therewith, but specifically excluding any costs, expenses, judgments, awards, penalties or fines arising out of or related to, or otherwise attributable to, any litigation concerning any of the patents set forth on Schedule 6.5. Other than claims based on fraud or for specific performance, injunctive or other equitable relief, the indemnity provided in this ARTICLE 11 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Parent against the Company Parent at law or equity for any matter covered by this Section 11.4.
11.5 Payment of Damages by Company Parent. In the event that Parent shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this ARTICLE 11, Company Parent shall, within thirty (30) days after the final determination of the amount of such Damages, satisfy its obligations under this ARTICLE 11, at its election, with shares of Parent Common Stock, shares of Parent Series B Preferred Stock or cash, or with a combination of shares of Parent Common Stock, Parent Series B Preferred Stock and cash, as Company Parent may determine in its sole discretion. To satisfy any obligations under this ARTICLE 11 with shares of Parent Common Stock or shares of Parent Series B Preferred Stock, Company Parent shall transfer to Parent that number of shares of Parent Common Stock or Parent Series B Preferred Stock equal to (i) the amount of such obligation divided by (ii) the Fair Market Value per share of Parent Common Stock or Parent Series B Preferred Stock as of the date of such transfer. Any shares of capital stock of Parent transferred to Parent pursuant to this Section 11.5 shall be retired and shall resume the status of authorized but not outstanding shares of the class or series to which they belong.
46
(a) Third Party Claims. If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any action, suit, claim or other legal proceeding made or brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement or a representative of the foregoing (a "Third Party Claim") against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice thereof. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Damages that have been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s expense and by the Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, and the Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate in such defense. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, subject to Section 11.6(b), it shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right, at its own cost and expense, to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense thereof. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third Party Claim or fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 11.6(b), pay, compromise, defend such Third Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third Party Claim. Parent and Company Parent shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third Party Claim, including making available (subject to customary confidentiality undertakings) records relating to such Third Party Claim and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending party, management employees of the non-defending party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third Party Claim.
(b) Settlement of Third Party Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into settlement of any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), except as provided in this Section 11.6(b). If a firm offer is made to settle a Third Party Claim without leading to liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer within ten business days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party may continue to contest or defend such Third Party Claim and in such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Third Party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer and also fails to assume defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle the Third Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense pursuant to Section 11.6(a), it shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
47
(c) Direct Claims. Any claim by the Indemnified Party on account of Damages which do not result from a Third Party Claim (a "Direct Claim") shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice thereof. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Damages that have been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have 30 days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. During such 30-day period, the Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim and the Indemnified Party shall assist the Indemnifying Party’s investigation by giving such information and assistance (including access to the Indemnified Party’s premises and personnel and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents or records) as the Indemnifying Party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request, in each case subject to standard confidentiality undertakings. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such 30-day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which case the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.
(d) Claims Committee. Company Parent acknowledges and agrees that the authority to negotiate, defend, settle or resolve any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 11.2 and to bring, negotiate, prosecute, settle or resolve any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 11.4 shall be delegated to a committee of the Board of Directors of Parent consisting of the independent directors of Parent (as determined under the independence standards of NASDAQ and applicable SEC rules).
11.7 Certain Limitations.
(a) Each party entitled to indemnification under this ARTICLE 11 shall take, and cause its Affiliates to take, all reasonable steps to mitigate any Damages upon becoming aware of any event or circumstance that would be reasonably expected to, or does, give rise thereto. Payments by an indemnifying party pursuant to Section 11.2 or Section 11.4 in respect of any Damages shall be limited to the amount of any liability or damage that remains after deducting therefrom any insurance proceeds and any indemnity, contribution or other similar payment received or reasonably expected to be received by the indemnified party in respect of any such claim. The indemnified Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to recover under insurance policies or indemnity, contribution or other similar agreements for any Damages prior to seeking indemnification under this Agreement.
(b) No Indemnifying Party shall be liable for indemnification under this ARTICLE 11 until the aggregate amount of all Damages for which such Indemnifying Party would be liable under this ARTICLE 11 exceeds $200,000, in which event the Indemnifying Party shall be required to pay or be liable for all such Damages from the first dollar.
(c) The aggregate amount of all Damages for which any Indemnifying Party shall be liable pursuant to this ARTICLE 11 shall not exceed $5,000,000, except in the case of claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 11.2(i) or Section 11.4(i) with respect to (i) Sections 4.3, 4.4, 4.12, 5.3 , 5.4 and 5.12 or in the case of fraud or willful misrepresentation and (ii) Section 6.6, to the extent resulting directly from Third Party Claims by investors who purchased shares of Parent Common Stock in the Secondary Sale, in which case the aggregate amount of all such Damages for which any Indemnifying Party shall be liable shall not exceed $8,500,000.

12.4 Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of any party hereto in the exercise of any right hereunder shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of, or acquiescence in, any breach of any representation, warranty or agreement herein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other rights. Except as otherwise provided hereunder, all rights and remedies existing under this Agreement are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.
12.5 Expenses. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the party incurring such costs and expenses.
12.6 Severability.

Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible, in a mutually acceptable manner, to the end that transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.

52
