Subject to their compliance with Section 7.7 hereof, Erevu and the Stockholders shall also be permitted to conduct such investigation of Aladdin Holdings as is reasonable and necessary to evaluate the financial condition and prospects of, and the risk of investment in, the Aladdin Holdings Common Stock. 7.3 ADVICE OF CLAIMS From the date of this Agreement to and including the Closing Date, each party hereto shall promptly advise all other parties hereto in writing of the commencement or threat of any claims, litigation or proceedings against or affecting any party hereto, of which such party has knowledge. 7.4 COOPERATION Each party hereto will fully cooperate with the other parties, their counsel and accountants in connection with any steps required to be taken as part of its obligations under this Agreement. Each party will use its best efforts to cause all conditions to this Agreement to be satisfied as promptly as possible and to obtain all consents and approvals necessary for the due and punctual performance of this Agreement and for the satisfaction of the conditions hereof.

All such information furnished by one party to the other or its representatives is hereinafter referred to as the "Confidential Information". As used in this Agreement, the "representatives" of any party shall mean such party's officers, employees, agents or other representatives, including, without limitation, attorneys, accountants, consultants and financial advisors. In consideration of each party's being furnished with the Confidential Information of the other, each party agrees that: (a) The Confidential Information will be kept confidential and except as required by law will not, without the prior written consent of the party supplying the information, be disclosed by the receiving party or its representatives in any manner whatsoever, in whole or in part, and will not be used by the receiving party or its representatives directly or indirectly for any purpose other than evaluating and facilitating the transactions contemplated herein; provided, however, that upon the execution of this Agreement by Aladdin Holdings, the Stockholders and Erevu, Aladdin Holdings and its representatives will be free to use the Confidential Information to the extent required by law in any subsequent filings with federal or state authorities relating to the transactions contemplated herein. Each party agrees to transmit the Confidential Information only to those of its representatives who need to know the Confidential Information for the purpose of advising it regarding any of the purposes for which it is permitted to use the Confidential Information under the terms of this Agreement, who are informed by the party supplying such information of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information and who are directed by such party to comply with the terms of this Agreement. Each party will be responsible for any material breach of this Agreement by its representatives. (b) Without the prior written consent of the other parties to this Agreement, no party or any of its representatives will disclose to any other person the fact that the Confidential Information has been made available, or any of the terms, conditions or other facts with respect to the transactions contemplated herein, including the status thereof, except as required by law or permitted under the terms of this Agreement. (c) In the event the parties do not proceed with the transactions contemplated herein, the Confidential Information and all copies thereof will be destroyed or returned promptly without retaining any copies thereof. Analyses, notes, studies or other documents prepared by any party or its representatives for the purpose of assisting it in connection with the transactions contemplated herein will be held by the receiving party and kept 81 confidential and subject to the terms of this Agreement or, at the election of the other party, destroyed. (d) This Section 7.7 shall be inoperative as to such portions of the Confidential Information which (i) are or become generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by the receiving party or its representatives which is not required by law; (ii) become available to the receiving party from a source with no obligation of confidentiality to the other party; (iii) describe technology independently developed by the receiving party; or (iv) were known to the receiving party on a non-confidential basis prior to its disclosure to the receiving party by the supplying party or one of its representatives. (e) In the event that a receiving party or any of its representatives is requested or becomes legally compelled (by written or oral interrogatories, subpoena, civil or criminal investigative demand or similar process) to disclose any of the Confidential Information for purposes not permitted by this Agreement, the receiving party will provide the supplying party with prompt written notice so that the supplying party may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. In the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, or that the supplying party waives compliance with the provisions of this Agreement, the receiving party will furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information which is legally required, and will exercise good faith efforts to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Confidential Information. (f) Each party agrees that the other parties shall be entitled to equitable relief, including injunction and specific performance, in the event of any breach of the provisions of clause (a), (b), (c) or (e) of this Section 7.7. Such remedies shall not be deemed to be the exclusive remedies for a breach of this Section 7.7 by any party or its representatives but shall be in addition to all other remedies available at law or equity. (g) It is further understood and agreed that no failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Section 7.7 shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of such any right, power or privilege hereunder. 7.8 PAYMENT OF BROKERAGE FEES Any brokerage, finder's or other fee or expense due in violation of Section 2.24 hereof shall be paid by the Stockholders. 7.9 FURTHER ACTS After the Closing Date, each party hereto, at the request of and without any further cost or expense to the other parties, will take any further actions necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or any Operative Document, to maintain for Aladdin Holdings full title to all 82 properties, assets and rights of Erevu and to effect the transfer of the Stock to Aladdin Holdings and to effect the issuance of the Aladdin Holdings Stock to the Stockholders and to consummate any other transaction contemplated herein. 7.10 RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER For a period of one year from the Closing Date, none of the Stockholders shall (i) sell, assign, exchange, transfer, encumber, pledge, distribute, appoint or otherwise dispose of (a) any shares of Aladdin Holdings Common Stock received by the Stockholders at the Closing or (b) any interest (including, without limitation, an option to buy or sell) in any such shares of Aladdin Holdings Common Stock, in whole or in part, and no such attempted transfer shall be treated as effective for any purpose; or (ii) engage in any transaction, whether or not with respect to any shares of Aladdin Holdings Common Stock or any interest herein, the intent or effect of which is to reduce the risk of owning the shares of Aladdin Holdings Common Stock acquired hereunder (including, by way of example and not limitation, engaging in put, call, short-sale, straddle or similar market transactions). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Stockholders may transfer shares of Aladdin Holdings Common Stock to immediate family members (or trusts for the benefit of the Stockholders or family members, the trustees of which so agree) or; provided, that, the family member, trust, trustee, pledge or other beneficiary of such transfer, encumbrance or pledge, as the case may be, agrees in writing prior to such transaction to be bound by (1) the provisions of this Section as if a Stockholder and party hereto and (2) the indemnification provisions set forth in this Agreement as if a Stockholder and party hereto. The provisions of this Section shall apply to the shares paid to the Stockholders at the Closing and to any Additional Shares paid to the Stockholders; provided that the restrictions contained herein shall only apply to the Additional Shares for the balance of the one (1) year period commencing upon the Closing Date. The certificates evidencing the Aladdin Holdings Common Stock delivered to the Stockholders hereunder will bear a legend substantially in the form set forth below and containing such other information as Aladdin Holdings may deem reasonably necessary or appropriate: EXCEPT AS PROVIDED BY THAT CERTAIN STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE AT THE PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OFFICES OF THE COMPANY FOR PUBLIC INSPECTION, THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY NOT BE SOLD, ASSIGNED, EXCHANGED, TRANSFERRED, ENCUMBERED, PLEDGED, DISTRIBUTED, APPOINTED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF, AND THE ISSUER SHALL NOT BE REQUIRED TO GIVE EFFECT TO ANY ATTEMPTED SALE, ASSIGNMENT, EXCHANGE, TRANSFER, ENCUMBRANCE, PLEDGE, DISTRIBUTION, APPOINTMENT OR OTHER DISPOSITION PRIOR TO THE FIRST ANNIVERSARY OF THE CLOSING DATE. UPON THE WRITTEN REQUEST OF THE HOLDER OF THIS CERTIFICATE, THE ISSUER AGREES TO REMOVE THIS RESTRICTIVE LEGEND (AND ANY STOP ORDER PLACED WITH 83 THE TRANSFER AGENT) AFTER THE DATE SPECIFIED ABOVE. 7.11 ADJUSTMENTS TO ALADDIN HOLDINGS COMMON STOCK In the event that Aladdin Holdings shall: (i) pay a dividend in common stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding common stock into a greater number of shares of common stock, (iii) combine its outstanding shares of common stock into a smaller number of shares of common stock (as contemplated by Section 7.14 below or otherwise), or (iv) issue, by reclassification of its shares of common stock, any shares of its capital stock, (a) the number of shares of Aladdin Holdings Common Stock payable to the Stockholders pursuant to Section 1.4 above shall be proportionately adjusted so that the Stockholders shall be entitled to receive that number of shares of Aladdin Holdings Common Stock which the Stockholders would have owned or would have been entitled to receive had such event occurred after the issuance of such shares to the Stockholder and (b) all other references to shares of Aladdin Holdings Common Stock herein shall be so adjusted. 7.12 REGISTRATION RIGHTS. A. DEMAND RIGHTS. (a) If Aladdin Holdings shall receive a written request from Stockholders holding twenty-five (25%) percent of the Aladdin Holdings Common Stock payable to the Stockholders pursuant to Section 1.4 above (the "Initiating Stockholders") that Aladdin Holdings file a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") covering the registration of the Aladdin Holdings Common Stock, then the Company shall, within 30 days of receipt thereof, give written notice of such request to all Stockholders, and subject to limitations of this Section, use its best efforts to effect, as soon as practicable, the registration under the Securities Act of all the Aladdin Holdings Common Stock received by the Stockholders hereunder that the Stockholders request to be registered. The Demand Rights granted hereunder may be exercised no more than three (3) times. (b) Aladdin Holdings shall not be required to effect a registration pursuant to this Section: (i) prior to the one hundred eighty (180) days after the Closing; or (ii) after Aladdin Holdings has effected one (1) registration pursuant to this Section and such registration has been declared or ordered effective; or (iii) if Aladdin Holdings shall furnish to Stockholders requesting a registration statement pursuant to this Section, a certificate signed by the Chairman of the Board stating that in good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of Aladdin Holdings, it would be seriously detrimental to Aladdin Holdings and its shareholders for such registration statement to be effected at such time, in which event Aladdin Holdings shall have the right to defer such filing for a period of not more than one hundred eighty (180) days after receipt of the request of the Initiating Stockholders; provided that such 84 right to delay a request shall be exercised by the Company not more than once in any twelve (12) month period. B. PIGGYBACK REGISTRATIONS. Aladdin Holdings shall notify all Stockholders in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to the filing of any registration statement under the Securities Act for purposes of a public offering of securities of Aladdin Holdings (including, and not limited to, registration statements relating to secondary offerings of the securities of the Company, but excluding a registration statement relating to employee benefit plans, with respect to corporate reorganizations or other transactions under Section 145 of the Securities Act) and will afford each such Stockholder an opportunity to include in such registration statement all or part of the Aladdin Holdings Common Stock held by such Stockholder. C. EXPENSES OF REGISTRATION. Except as specifically provided herein, all registration expenses incurred in connection with any registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to Section be borne by Aladdin Holdings ("Registration Expenses"). All underwriting discounts and selling commissions incurred in connection with any registrations hereunder, shall be borne by the holders of securities so registered pro rata on the basis of the number of shares so registered. Aladdin Holdings shall not, however, be required to pay for expenses of any registration proceeding, the request of which has been subsequently withdrawn by the Initiating Stockholders. D. TERMINATION OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS. All rights granted to each Stockholder under this Section shall terminate and be of no further force and effect upon the date on which the Aladdin Holdings' Common Stock issuable to such a Stockholder may be sold under Rule 144 during any ninety (90) day period. 7.13 TERMINATION OF FUTURE PAYMENT RIGHTS UPON SALE. In the event that prior to the end of the Second Period, Aladdin Holdings shall enter into a transaction for the sale of Aladdin Holdings, whether by merger or otherwise (a "Holding Company Sale"), the parties hereby agree and acknowledge that it would be in the best interests of Aladdin Holdings for the Stockholders to terminate their right to receive the portions of the Purchase Price to be paid at the end of the First Period and the Second Period, or at the end of the Second Period, as the case may be (the "Future Payment Right"). In light of the foregoing, the Stockholders hereby agree that in the event of a Holding Company Sale, the Stockholders shall be deemed to have terminated and waived the Future Payment Right in exchange for a one-time payment (the "Termination Payment") which Termination Payment shall be based upon the consideration paid in connection with the Holding Company Sale (the "Sale Consideration"), determined as follows: (a) In the event that the Sale Consideration shall be less than Ten Million ($10,000,00) Dollars, the Termination Payment shall be zero. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Future Payment Right shall be deemed to be terminated and waived. (b) In the event that the Sale Consideration shall be at least Ten Million ($10,000,00) Dollars but less than Twenty Million ($20,000,00) Dollars, the Termination Payment shall be calculated as follows: (i) the Sale Consideration less (ii) Ten Million ($10,000,00) Dollars less (iii) the Sale 85 Consideration times a ratio the numerator of which is the number of shares issued to the Stockholders pursuant to Section 1.4 above (the "Payment Shares") and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Aladdin Holdings issued and outstanding, on a fully diluted basis, immediately prior to such transaction. Upon the Closing of such transaction, the Stockholders shall surrender to Aladdin Holders for cancellation, their shares of Aladdin Holdings Common Stock in exchange for a pro rata portion of the Sale Consideration in addition to, and separate from, the Termination Payment. For purposes of illustration, in the event that the Sale Consideration is $18,000,000, the number of Payment Shares if 5,000,000 and the total number of shares of Aladdin Holdings, issued and outstanding are 15,000,000, the Termination Payment shall be $2,000,000 (($18,000,000 less $10,000,000) less ($18,000,000 divided by 5,000,000/15,000,000)). (c) In the event that the Sale Consideration shall be at least Twenty Million ($20,000,00) Dollars, the Termination Payment shall be calculated as follows: (i) one-half the Sale Consideration less (ii) the Sale Consideration times a ratio the numerator of which is the number of Payment Shares and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Aladdin Holdings issued and outstanding, on a fully diluted basis, immediately prior to such transaction. Upon the Closing of such transaction, the Stockholders shall surrender to Aladdin Holders for cancellation, their shares of Aladdin Holdings Common Stock in exchange for a pro rata portion of the Sale Consideration in addition to, and separate from, the Termination Payment. For purposes of illustration, in the event that the Sale Consideration is $30,000,000, the number of Payment Shares is 5,000,000 and the total number of shares of Aladdin Holdings, issued and outstanding are 15,000,000, the Termination Payment shall be $5,000,000 (($30,000,000 divided by 2) less ($30,000,000 times 5,000,000/15,000,000)). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above: in the event that the Stockholders have received, or have earned the right to receive Payment Shares which constitute fifty percent (50%) or more of the number of shares of Aladdin Holdings Common Stock then issued and outstanding, the provisions of this Section 7.13 shall not apply. 7.14 REVERSE STOCK SPLIT. Aladdin Holdings shall, within thirty (30) days of the date of the Effective Date, conduct a 1-for-3 reverse stock split. ARTICLE VIII - TERMINATION This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing: (a) by the mutual consent of Erevu and Aladdin Holdings; 86 (b) by either Erevu or Aladdin Holdings if the other parties shall have substantially and materially breached their agreements hereunder; provided, however, that Erevu may not terminate this Agreement for a breach by the Stockholders, and Aladdin Holdings may not terminate this Agreement for a breach by Aladdin Holdings. Furthermore, this Agreement shall not be terminated (nor shall any other action be taken) for any breach hereunder, unless the party seeking termination shall have provided to all other parties written notice describing the breach with sufficient specificity to permit cure thereof and the other parties shall have a reasonable opportunity (of not less than 30 days) to cure such breach. In the event of such cure, the cured breach shall be deemed a nullity and no action of any nature arising out of such nullified breach, against the breaching party shall be permitted; or (c) by either Erevu or Aladdin Holdings if the Closing has not occurred by September 15, 2002; provided that the party electing to terminate has used its best efforts to consummate the Closing prior to September 15, 2002. In the event of any termination pursuant to this Article VIII (other than pursuant to clause (a) above), written notice setting forth the reasons therefor shall forthwith be given by the terminating party to the other parties hereto. Such termination shall not prejudice any party's right to seek remedies for another party's breach of this Agreement. All provisions of this Agreement regarding confidentiality and non-disclosure shall survive the termination of this Agreement. ARTICLE IX - GENERAL 9.1 EXPENSES Whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated, each party shall pay its own fees and expenses incident to the negotiation, preparation and carrying out of this Agreement and the Operative Documents (including legal and accounting fees and expenses), provided that, should any action be brought hereunder, the attorneys' fees and expenses of the prevailing party shall be paid by the other party to such action. 9.2 AMENDMENT Aladdin Holdings, Erevu and the Stockholders may amend, modify or supplement this Agreement at any time, but only in writing duly executed on behalf of each of the parties to be bound thereby. 9.3 INDEMNIFICATION AND SURVIVAL OF WARRANTIES 9.3.1 (a) Erevu and the Stockholders agree to indemnify, Aladdin Holdings, its successors and assigns, and the officers, directors, affiliates, employees, controlling Persons and agents of the foregoing, and to hold each of them harmless against and in respect of any and all losses, damages, Taxes, penalties or other additions to Taxes, costs and expenses, including attorneys' and accountants' fees incurred by any of them by reason of (i) a breach of any of the representations or warranties made by Erevu or the Stockholders in this Agreement or the Operative Documents or (ii) the 87 nonperformance (whether partial or total) of any covenants or agreements made by Erevu or the Stockholders in this Agreement or the Operative Documents.

The indemnifying parties may settle an indemnifiable matter after delivering a written description of the proposed settlement to and receiving consent from the Indemnitee. In the event the Indemnitee unreasonably declines to consent to such settlement, then the Indemnitee shall have no right to indemnification beyond the amount of the proposed settlement. In the event the indemnifying parties jointly elect to contest an indemnifiable matter, the Surviving Corporation, Aladdin Holdings and the Stockholders shall permit each other reasonable access, subject to the provisions of Section 7.9 hereof, to their respective books and records and shall otherwise cooperate in connection with such claim. If the indemnifying parties do not jointly elect to contest an indemnifiable matter, they shall cooperate with the Indemnitee to the extent any of them has knowledge of facts or circumstances relating to such matter, and the Indemnitee shall have the exclusive right to prosecute, defend, compromise, settle or pay any claim, but the Indemnitee shall not be obligated to do so; provided, however, that, should 88 the Indemnitee elect not to exercise its right exclusively to prosecute, defend, compromise, settle or pay such claim, any indemnifying party may elect to do so at its sole expense. 9.3.4 The representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing for a period of sixteen (16) months from the Closing. 9.3.5 Indemnity obligations hereunder of Erevu and the Stockholders shall be limited in that the same shall be satisfied solely by offsetting any amounts due from the Stockholders against shares of Aladdin Holdings Common Stock which are issuable to the Stockholders pursuant to Section 1.4 above, such shares to be valued at the time that any such payment is to be made. 9.6 COUNTERPARTS This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. 9.7 HEADINGS The headings preceding the text of Articles and Sections of this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not be deemed parts thereof 9.8 APPLICABLE LAW This Agreement, including all matters of construction, validity and performance, shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the state of Delaware, as applied to contracts executed and to be fully performed in such state by citizens of such state. 9.9 PARTIES IN INTEREST All the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective successors and permitted assigns of the parties hereto, whether herein so expressed or not, but neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder of any party hereto shall be assigned without the prior written consent of the other parties; provided that any Stockholder shall be permitted to assign its consideration payable hereunder to any third party.
