As of the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Merger Sub or the Company, the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended and restated in the form of Exhibit B to read the same as the Bylaws of Merger Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, subject to Section 5.8, until thereafter amended in accordance with the law, the Articles of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation and such Bylaws; provided, however, that all references in such Bylaws to Merger Sub shall be amended to refer to "Gator Electronics, Inc."

        1.5     Directors and Officers of Surviving Corporation.

    (a)     Conversion of Shares. Each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company ("Company Common Stock") issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any shares of Company Common Stock to be canceled pursuant to Section 1.6(b) and any Dissenting Shares, as defined in Section 1.7), will be canceled and extinguished and automatically converted into the right to receive, upon surrender of the certificate(s) representing such Company Common Stock in the manner provided in Section 1.8 (or in the case of a lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, upon delivery of an affidavit, and bond, if required, in the manner provided in Section 1.10), cash in the amount of $0.68 (the "Per Share Merger Consideration" and the aggregate of all Per Share Merger Consideration in respect of all Company Common Stock entitled thereto and the aggregate amount of cash to be issued to holders of In-the-Money Options (as defined in Section 1.6(d)(ii) pursuant to Section 1.6(d), the "Merger Consideration"). If any shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time are unvested or are subject to a repurchase option, risk of forfeiture or other condition under any applicable restricted stock purchase agreement or other agreement with the Company ("Unvested Shares"), then the portion of the Merger Consideration issued in exchange for such Unvested Shares shall also be unvested and subject to the same repurchase option, risk of forfeiture or other condition. The portion of the Merger Consideration payable upon conversion of any Unvested Share shall be withheld by the Paying Agent and paid by the Paying Agent to each such holder in accordance with the vesting and other provisions set forth in the applicable restricted stock purchase agreement, if applicable.

    (b)     Cancellation of Treasury and Parent-Owned Shares. All Company Common Stock held by the Company or owned by Merger Sub, Parent or any direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company or of Parent immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and extinguished without any conversion thereof.

    (c)     Capital Stock of Merger Sub. Each share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Merger Sub (the "Merger Sub Common Stock") issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation. Each certificate evidencing ownership of shares of Merger Sub Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall evidence ownership of such shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.

3

    (d)     Stock Options. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any holder of outstanding options to purchase Company Common Stock (the "Company Stock Options"), each Company Stock Option, whether vested or unvested, and all stock option plans or other equity-related plans of the Company, including the Gator Electronics, Inc. Stock Option Plan (as may be amended from time to time, the "Company Stock Plans"), insofar as they relate to Company Stock Options, shall be terminated as follows:

    (i)     At the Effective Time, each Out-of-the-Money Option (as defined below) shall be terminated in its entirety without consideration therefor, and the holder of each Out-of-the-Money Option shall have no further rights thereunder. Each Company Stock Option that has a per share exercise price greater than $0.68 and is unexpired, unexercised and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be an "Out-of-the-Money Option."

    (ii)     At the Effective Time, each In-the-Money Option (as defined below) shall, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, terminate in its entirety and the holder of each In-the-Money Option shall be entitled to receive that amount of cash that is equal to the product of the number of shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such In-the-Money Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by the excess by which $0.68 exceeds the per share exercise price of such In-the-Money Option. Each Company Stock Option that has a per share exercise price less than $0.68 and is unexpired, unexercised and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be an "In-the-Money Option." Promptly after the Effective Time (but not later than three (3) business days after the date on which the Effective Time occurs), Parent shall pay the In-the-Money Option holders the Merger Consideration specified in this Section 1.6(d)(ii).

        1.7     Dissenting Shares.

    (a)     Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Common Stock that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that are held by stockholders who shall have not voted in favor of the Merger and who shall have demanded properly in writing appraisal for such Company Common Stock in accordance with Section 1302 of the Florida Business Corporation Act (collectively, the "Dissenting Shares") shall not be converted into, or represent the right to receive, the Per Share Merger Consideration payable for each such share of Company Common Stock. Such stockholders shall be entitled to receive payment of the appraised value of such Company Common Stock held by them in accordance with the provisions of such Section 1302, except that all Dissenting Shares held by stockholders who shall have failed to perfect or who effectively shall have withdrawn or lost their rights to appraisal of such Company Common Stock under such Section 1302 shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted into, and to have become exchangeable for, as of the Effective Time, the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration payable for each such share of Company Common Stock, upon surrender, in the manner provided in Section 1.8, of the certificate or certificates that formerly evidenced such Company Common Stock.

4

    (b)     The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of any demands for appraisal received by the Company, withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to the Florida Business Corporation Act and received by the Company and (ii) the opportunity to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under the Florida Business Corporation Act. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal or offer to settle or settle any such demands.

        1.8     Surrender of Certificates.

    (a)     Paying Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall select a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as agent (the "Paying Agent") for the benefit of the holders of Company Common Stock and In-the-Money Options to receive the portion of the Merger Consideration to which holders of Company Common Stock and In-the-Money Options shall become entitled pursuant to Section 1.6(a) and Section 1.6(d)(ii).

    (b)     Exchange Procedures. Promptly after the Effective Time (but not later than five (5) business days after the date on which the Effective Time occurs), Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record (as of the Effective Time) of Company Common Stock, including holders of a certificate or certificates (the "Certificates") which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock converted into the right to receive the portion of the Merger Consideration payable for such Company Common Stock, (i) a letter of transmittal in customary form and approved by the Company prior to the Effective Time (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Paying Agent and shall contain such other provisions as Parent and the Company shall reasonably agree) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for the portion of the Merger Consideration payable upon surrender of said Certificates. Upon surrender of Certificates for cancellation to the Paying Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by Parent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto (or, if such shares are held in book-entry or other uncertified form, upon the entry through a book-entry transfer agent or the surrender of such Company Common Stock on a book entry statement (it being understood that any references herein to "Certificates" shall be deemed to include references to book-entry account statements.), the holders of such Certificates formerly representing the Company Common Stock shall be entitled to receive an amount of cash (payable by check) equal to the Per Share Merger Consideration multiplied by the number of shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate or Certificates, and the Certificates so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. Until so surrendered, outstanding Certificates shall be deemed from and after the Effective Time, for all corporate purposes, to evidence only the ownership of the respective portion of the Merger Consideration to which the record holder of such Certificate is entitled by virtue thereof. Promptly following surrender of any such Certificates and the duly executed letters of transmittal, the Paying Agent shall deliver to the record holders thereof, without interest, the

5

portion of the Merger Consideration to which such holder is entitled upon surrender of said Certificates, subject to the restrictions set forth herein.

    (c)     Payments with respect to Unsurrendered Company Common Stock; No Liability. At any time after twelve (12) months following the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to require the Paying Agent to deliver to it any funds which had been made available to the Paying Agent and not disbursed to holders of Company Common Stock (including all interest and other income received by the Paying Agent in respect of all funds made available to it), and, thereafter, such holders shall be entitled to look to Parent (subject to abandoned property, escheat and other similar laws) only as general creditors thereof with respect to any portion of the Merger Consideration that may be payable upon due surrender of the Certificates held by them. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of Parent, the Surviving Corporation nor the Paying Agent shall be liable to any former holder of Company Common Stock for any portion of the Merger Consideration properly delivered in respect of such Company Common Stock to a public official pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or other similar law.

    (d) Transfers of Ownership. If the payment of the portion of the Merger Consideration to which such holder is entitled is to be paid to a person other than the person in whose name the Certificates surrendered in exchange therefor are registered, it will be a condition of payment that the Certificates so surrendered be properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for transfer (including, if requested by Parent or the Paying Agent, a medallion guarantee), and that the persons requesting such payment will have paid to Parent or any agent designated by it any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the payment of a portion of the Merger Consideration to a person other than the registered holder of the Certificates surrendered, or established to the satisfaction of Parent or any agent designated by it that such tax has been paid or is not applicable.

    (e) Required Withholding. Each of the Paying Agent, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder or former holder of the Company Common Stock such amounts as may be required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under the Code or under any provision of state or local tax law or under any other applicable legal requirement. To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.

        1.9     No Further Ownership Rights in Company Common Stock. Payment of the Merger Consideration shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the Company Common Stock, and after the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving Corporation of the Company Common Stock which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article I.

        1.10     Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event that any Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Paying Agent shall pay in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, the portion of the Merger

6

Consideration payable with respect thereto; provided, however, that Parent or the Paying Agent may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the payment of such portion of the Merger Consideration, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates to deliver a bond in such reasonable and customary amount as it may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent with respect to the Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

        1.11     Adjustments. In the event of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Company Common Stock, whether directly or indirectly), reorganization, reclassification, combination, recapitalization or other like change with respect to the Company Common Stock occurring after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Effective Time, all references in this Agreement to specified numbers of shares of any class or series affected thereby, and all calculations provided for that are based upon numbers of shares of any class or series (or trading prices therefor) affected thereby, shall be equitably adjusted to the extent necessary to provide the parties the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, reorganization, reclassification, combination, recapitalization or other like change.

        1.12     Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and Merger Sub, the officers and directors of the Company and Merger Sub will take all such lawful and necessary action.

ARTICLE II
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF COMPANY

        The Company hereby represents and warrants to Parent and Merger Sub that, except as disclosed in writing in the disclosure letter supplied by the Company to Parent, dated as of the date hereof (the "Company Disclosure Letter"), the statements contained in this Article II are true, correct and complete as of the date of this Agreement (except where another date is specified); provided, however, that the mere inclusion of an item on the Company Disclosure Letter shall not be deemed to be an admission by the Company that such item is or was material or is or was required to be disclosed therein. Subject only to such exceptions as are set forth in the Company Disclosure Letter (which exceptions shall reference the specific section and, if applicable, subsection number of this Article II to which it applies, and any information disclosed in any such section or subsection shall be deemed to be disclosed only for purposes of such section or subsection, except to the extent is reasonably apparent that the disclosure contained in such section or subsection contains enough information regarding the subject matter of other representations and warranties contained in this Article II so as to qualify or otherwise apply to such other representations and warranties), the Company represents and warrants to Parent and Merger Sub as follows:

        2.1     Organization and Qualification.

    (a)     The Company (and any subsidiary) is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation and has the requisite corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its assets and properties

7

and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted. The Company (and any subsidiary) is in possession of all franchises, grants, authorizations, licenses, permits, easements, consents, certificates, approvals and orders ("Approvals") necessary to own, lease and operate the properties it purports to own, operate or lease and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted, except where the failure to have such Approvals has not had, and would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company (as defined in Section 8.3(c)).

    (b)     The Company has no subsidiaries and does not own any shares of capital stock or other securities of any other person, except for such subsidiaries or persons, if any, so identified in Section_2.1(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter (which disclosure, if any, also sets forth the form of ownership and percentage voting and/or equity interest of the Company in any such person). Except as set forth in Section 2.1(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has agreed to make nor is obligated to make nor is bound by any written or oral, agreement, contract, subcontract, lease, mortgage, indenture, understanding, arrangement, instrument, note, bond, option, warranty, purchase order, license, sublicense, insurance policy, or other legally binding instrument, obligation or commitment or undertaking of any nature (a "Contract"), in effect as of the date hereof or as may hereafter be in effect under which it may become obligated to make, any future investment in or capital contribution to any other person or any sale or other disposition of the capital stock or any of the assets or operations (except for sales of assets in the ordinary course of business) of any such person. Except as set forth in Section_2.1(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries directly or indirectly owns any equity or similar interest in or any interest convertible, exchangeable or exercisable for, any equity or similar interest in, any corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture or other business, association or entity.

    (c)     The Company and each of its subsidiaries is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation, and is in good standing, under the laws of all jurisdictions where the character of the properties owned, leased or operated by it or the nature of its activities makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified and in good standing has not had, and would not reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect on the Company. Section_2.1(c) of the Company Disclosure Letter sets forth a true and complete list of each state in which the Company and each of its subsidiaries is qualified to do business as a foreign corporation.

        2.2     Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws. The Company has previously furnished or made available to Parent (i) a complete and correct copy of its Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws as amended to date (together, the "Company Charter Documents") and (ii) the equivalent organizational documents for any subsidiary of the Company, each as amended to date. The Company Charter Documents (and equivalent organizational documents of any subsidiary of the Company) are in full force and effect. Except as set forth in Section 2.2 of the Company Disclosure Letter, the minute books (containing the records of meetings of the stockholders, the board of directors, and any committees of the board of directors), of the Company reflect all material action taken and authorizations made at such meetings, and the Company has delivered to the Parent copies of all such items (except for minutes and consents of the Company's Board of Directors or any committee thereof relating to the transaction contemplated hereby). The Company (or any subsidiary of the Company) is

8

not in violation of any of the provisions of the Company Charter Documents (or any equivalent organizational documents).

        2.3     Capitalization.

    (a)     The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 50,000,000 shares of Company Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, and 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value of $0.01 per share ("Company Preferred Stock"). At the close of business on September 30, 2006, (i) 5,020,000 shares of Company Common Stock were issued and outstanding, all of which are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable; (ii) no shares of Company Common Stock were held by any subsidiary of the Company; (iii) no shares of Company Common Stock were held in treasury by the Company or by any subsidiary of the Company; (iv) 500,000 shares of Company Common Stock were reserved for issuance upon the exercise of options to purchase Company Common Stock under the Company Stock Plans. As of the date hereof, no shares of Company Preferred Stock were issued or outstanding. Section_2.3(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter sets forth the following information with respect to each Company Stock Option or grant of Unvested Shares, as applicable, outstanding as of the date of this Agreement: (i) the name of the optionee or holder; (ii) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Stock Option or grant of Unvested Shares; (iii) the exercise price of such Company Stock Option; (iv) the date on which such Company Stock Option or Unvested Shares was granted; (v) the applicable vesting schedule and the vesting of the forfeiture provisions for the Unvested Shares; (vi) the date on which such Company Stock Option expires; (vii) whether the exercisability of such Company Stock Option or vesting of such Unvested Shares will be accelerated in any way by the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and indicates the extent of acceleration; and (viii) whether such Company Stock Option is intended to qualify as an incentive stock option within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code. All shares of Company Common Stock subject to issuance upon exercise of such Company Stock Options, upon issuance on the terms and conditions specified in the instrument pursuant to which they are issuable, will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. Except as set forth in Section 2.3(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter, there are no commitments or agreements of any character to which the Company is bound obligating the Company to accelerate the vesting of any Company Stock Option or Unvested Share as a result of the Transactions or upon termination of employment or service of any person with the Company or with any of its subsidiaries following the Merger or otherwise. All outstanding shares of Company Common Stock, all outstanding Company Stock Options and all outstanding shares of capital stock of each subsidiary of the Company have been issued and granted in compliance with all applicable securities laws and other applicable Legal Requirements (as defined below). All repurchases of Company Common Stock have been made in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements. For the purposes of this Agreement, "Legal Requirements" means any federal, state, local, municipal, or other law, statute, legislation, constitution, principle of common law, resolution, ordinance, code, edict, order, judgment, decree, rule, regulation, ruling or requirement issued, enacted, adopted, promulgated, implemented or otherwise put into effect by or under the authority of any Governmental Entity (as defined in Section 2.5(b) hereof), including, without limitation, the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act of 1938, as amended (the "FDCA"), and the regulations of the U.S.

        2.6     Compliance; Permits.

    (a)     Except as set forth in Section 2.6(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is in conflict with, or in default or violation of, (i) any Legal Requirement applicable to the Company or any of its subsidiaries (including the FDCA and the FDA regulations) or by which its or any of their respective properties is bound, or (ii) any Company Contract to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its subsidiaries or its or any of their respective properties is bound or affected.

The Company Permits are valid and in full force and effect, and the Company (or any subsidiary) is in compliance in all material respects with all covenants, terms and conditions of such Company Permits. To the knowledge of the Company, no circumstances exist which could cause any such Company Permits to be revoked, modified, or rendered non-renewable (other than for failure to pay a required permit fee).

        2.7     SEC Filings; Financial Statements.

    (a)     The Company has filed or furnished each form, report, schedule, registration statement and definitive proxy statement required to be filed or furnished by the Company with or under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (the "SEC Reports").

None of the Company's subsidiaries is required to file or furnish any reports or other documents with the SEC.

12

    (b)     Each set of consolidated financial statements (including, in each case, any related notes thereto) contained in the SEC Reports (the "Financial Statements") (including any Company SEC Report filed after the date of this Agreement): (i) complied and will comply as to form in all material respects with the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto in effect at the time of such filing; (ii) was and will be prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods involved (except as may be indicated in the notes thereto or, in the case of unaudited statements, may not contain footnotes as permitted by Form 10-Q) and fairly presented and will fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial position of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries at the respective dates thereof and the consolidated results of the Company's and its subsidiaries' operations and cash flows for the periods indicated, except that the unaudited interim financial statements were or are subject to normal year-end adjustments which were not or will not be material in amount or significance. Except as reflected in the Financial Statements, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is a party to any material off-balance sheet arrangement (as defined in Item 303 of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act ("Regulation S-K")). All reserves that are set forth in or reflected in the Interim Balance Sheet (as defined below) have been established in accordance with GAAP consistently applied. At September 30, 2006 (the "Interim Balance Sheet Date"), there were no material loss contingencies (as such term is used in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5 ("Statement No. 5") issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board in March 1975) that are not adequately provided for in the balance sheet as of the Interim Balance Sheet Date (the "Interim Balance Sheet") as required by Statement No. 5. The Financial Statements comply in all material respects with the requirements of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants' Statement of Position 97-2. The Company has not had any dispute with any of its auditors regarding accounting matters or policies during any of its past three full fiscal years or during the current fiscal year-to-date requiring public reporting, a report to the audit committee or is otherwise material. The books and records of the Company and each of its subsidiaries have been, and are being maintained in all material respects in accordance with applicable legal and accounting requirements.

    (c)     The Company has previously furnished to Parent a complete and correct copy of any amendments or modifications, which have not yet been filed with the SEC but which are required to be filed, to agreements, documents or other instruments which previously had been filed by the Company with the SEC pursuant to the Securities Act or the Exchange Act.

    (d)     The Company has established and maintains "disclosure controls and procedures" (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act) that are reasonably designed to ensure that material information (both financial and non-financial) relating to the Company and the subsidiaries required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and to make the certifications of the principal executive officer and the

13

principal financial officer of the Company required by Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 ("SOX") with respect to such reports. For purposes of this Agreement, "principal executive officer" and "principal financial officer" shall have the meanings given to such terms in SOX. Each of the principal executive officer of the Company and the principal financial officer of the Company (or each former principal executive officer of the Company and each former principal financial officer of the Company, as applicable) has made all certifications required by Sections 302 and 906 of SOX and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder with respect to the SEC Reports. Based on the most recent evaluation by the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, and to the best of the knowledge of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, there are no "significant deficiencies" in the design or operation of the Company's internal controls and procedures which are reasonably likely to materially and adversely affect the Company's ability to record, process, summarize and report financial data or any "material weaknesses" in the Company's internal controls. As used in this section, a "significant deficiency" in controls means a control deficiency that adversely affects the Company's ability to initiate, authorize, record, process, or report external financial data reliably in accordance with GAAP. A "significant deficiency" may be a single deficiency or a combination of deficiencies that results in more than a remote likelihood that a misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected. As used in this section, a "material weakness" in controls means a significant deficiency, or a combination of significant deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. To the Company's knowledge, there is no fraud, whether or not material, that involves any Employee (as defined in Section 2.11(a)(v)) who has a significant role in the Company's internal controls and procedures.

    (e)     To the Company's knowledge, each of Kirkland, Russell, Murphy & Tapp and Grant Thornton LLP (each, an "Independent Auditor"), which auditor has expressed its opinion, as applicable, with respect to the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005, December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003 and for each of the fiscal years in the three fiscal year period ended December 31, 2005 included in the SEC Reports (including the related notes), is "independent" (under applicable rules then in effect) with respect to the Company (and any subsidiary) within the meaning of Regulation S-X since the appointment of each Independent Auditor in that capacity. The Company is in compliance with the applicable criteria of eligibility for continued quotation of the Company Common Stock on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (the "OTCBB") and has not received any notice from the National Association of Securities Dealers asserting any non-compliance with such rules and regulations.

    (f)     Except as set forth on Section 2.7(f) of the Company Disclosure Letter, no Employee or attorney representing the Company (or any subsidiary), whether or not employed by the Company (or any such subsidiary), has reported to the Board or any committee thereof or to any director or officer of the Company evidence of a material violation of securities laws, breach of fiduciary duty, fraudulent conduct or similar violation by an Employee or agent (while acting in that capacity).

14

        2.8     No Undisclosed Liabilities. Except as set forth in Section 2.8 of the Company Disclosure Letter, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has any liability, indebtedness, obligation, expense, claim, deficiency, guaranty or endorsement of any type (whether absolute, accrued, contingent, direct, indirect, or otherwise) (collectively, "Liabilities") of a nature required to be disclosed on a balance sheet or in the related notes to the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP and which are, individually or in the aggregate with such other items, material to the business, assets, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, except (i) Liabilities reflected in the Interim Balance Sheet, (ii) Liabilities incurred since the Interim Balance Sheet Date in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices and which, individually or in the aggregate, are not material in nature or amount and do not result from any breach of Contract, tort or violation of any Legal Requirement, (iii) Liabilities not prohibited under Section 4.1 hereof or (iv) Liabilities incurred in connection with this Agreement or the Transactions.

        2.9     Absence of Certain Changes or Events. Except as set forth in Section 2.9 of the Company Disclosure Letter, since the Interim Balance Sheet Date there has not been, occurred or arisen: (a) any event or condition of any character that, to the knowledge of the Company, has had or is reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company; (b) any declaration, setting aside or payment of any dividend on, or other distribution (whether in cash, stock or property) in respect of, any of the Company's or any of its subsidiaries' capital stock, or any purchase, redemption or other acquisition by the Company of any of the Company's capital stock or any other securities of the Company or its subsidiaries or any options, warrants, calls or rights to acquire any such shares or other securities except for repurchases from Employees following their termination pursuant to the terms of their pre-existing stock option or purchase agreements; (c) any split, combination or reclassification of any of the Company's or any of its subsidiaries' capital stock; (d) any granting by the Company or any of its subsidiaries of any increase in compensation or fringe benefits to any Employee (except for increases in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice in the base salaries of non-officer Employees in an amount that does not exceed for four percent (4%) of such base salaries per employee), of such base salaries per employee), or any payment by the Company or any of its subsidiaries of any bonus (except for bonuses made to current non-officer Employees in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice or pursuant to any bonus plan furnished to Parent), or any entry by the Company or one of its subsidiaries into any Contract (or amendment of an existing Contract) to grant or provide severance, acceleration of vesting, termination pay or other similar benefits; (e) any change by the Company in its accounting methods, principles or practices (including any change in depreciation or amortization policies or rates or revenue recognition policies), except as required by concurrent changes in GAAP; (f) any revaluation by the Company of any of its assets, including writing down the value of capitalized inventory or writing off notes or accounts receivable or any sale of assets of the Company other than in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice; (g) the incurring, creation or assumption of any material Encumbrance, any discharge of any Encumbrance or material liability which was not shown on the Interim Balance Sheet or incurred in the ordinary course of business since the Interim Balance Sheet Date, any material liability or obligation for borrowed money or any material liability or obligation as guaranty or surety with respect to the obligations of others; and (h) any announcement of, any negotiation by or any agreement by the Company, any of its subsidiaries, or any Employee on behalf of the Company, to do any of the things described in the preceding clauses (a) through (h) (other than negotiations or agreements with Parent and Merger Sub regarding the Transactions).

Except as set forth in Section 2.10 of the Company Disclosure Letter, no investigation or review by any Governmental Entity is pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or any of their respective properties or to the Company's knowledge any of the executive officers or directors of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, nor has any Governmental Entity indicated to the Company an intention to conduct the same.

Except as set forth in Section 2.23 of the Company Disclosure Letter, neither the Company nor any subsidiary is in possession of any inventory not owned by it, including goods already sold. Inventories now on hand that were purchased after the date of the Interim Balance Sheet were purchased in the ordinary course of business at a cost not exceeding market prices prevailing at the time of purchase. Work-in-process inventories are now valued, and will be valued on the Closing Date, according to GAAP.

No other state takeover statute or similar statute or regulation or anti-takeover provision in the Company Charter Documents applies to, purports to apply or at the Effective Time will be applicable to the Merger, this Agreement or the Transactions.

        2.27     Interested Party Transactions.

The Company shall consult with Parent prior to responding to any comments or inquiries by the SEC or any other Governmental Entity with respect to any filings related to (or necessary or appropriate to facilitate) the Merger, shall provide Parent with reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any such written response in advance and shall in good faith consider including in such response all comments reasonably proposed by Parent. Whenever any event occurs that is required to be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement or any other filing, the Company shall promptly inform Parent of such occurrence, provide Parent with reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any such amendment or supplement in advance, shall in good faith consider including in such amendment or supplement all comments reasonably proposed by Parent, and shall cooperate in filing with the SEC or its staff or any other Governmental Entity, and/or mailing to the stockholders of the Company, such amendment or supplement.

        5.2     Meeting of Company Stockholders.

    (a)     Promptly after the date hereof, the Company shall take all action necessary in accordance with the Florida Business Corporation Act and the Company Charter Documents to convene an annual or special meeting of its stockholders for the purpose of considering and taking action on this Agreement (the "Stockholders' Meeting"), to be held as promptly as practicable, and in any event (to the extent permissible under applicable law) within 60 days after the Proxy Statement is cleared by the SEC (or if no SEC comments are received on or prior to the expiration of the 10-day waiting period provided in Rule 14a-6(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act, within 65 days after such initial filing). Subject to Section 5.4(d), the Company shall use reasonable efforts to solicit from its stockholders proxies in favor of the adoption and approval of this Agreement and shall take all other action reasonably necessary or advisable to secure the vote or consent of its stockholders required by the Florida Business Corporation Act to obtain such approvals. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company may adjourn or postpone the Stockholders' Meeting to the extent necessary to ensure that any necessary supplement or amendment to the Proxy Statement is provided to the Company's stockholders in advance of a vote on this Agreement or, if as of the time for which the Stockholders' Meeting is originally scheduled (as set forth in the Proxy Statement) there are insufficient shares of Company Common Stock represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of the Stockholders' Meeting. The Company shall ensure that the Stockholders' Meeting is called, noticed, convened, held and conducted, and that all proxies solicited by the Company in connection with the Stockholders' Meeting are solicited,

42

in compliance with the Florida Business Corporation Act, the Company Charter Documents and all other applicable Legal Requirements.

Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the Board or any director from fulfilling its fiduciary duties including the duty of candor or disclosure to the Company's stockholders under applicable law. For purposes of this Agreement, said recommendation of the Board shall be deemed to have been modified in a manner adverse to Parent if said recommendation shall no longer be unanimous.

        5.3     Confidentiality; Access to Information.

    (a)     The parties acknowledge that Parent and the Company have previously executed a letter agreement, dated as of June 1, 2006 as amended by the Amendment executed by Parent on October 17, 2006 and by the Company on October 19, 2006 (the "Confidentiality Agreement"), which Confidentiality Agreement will continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms, other than those provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement, which are superseded by Section 5.4.

    (b)     The Company shall afford Parent and its accountants, counsel, advisors and other representatives reasonable access, subject to Legal Requirements and in a manner so as not to interfere with the normal business operations of the Company, during normal business hours, upon reasonable notice, to the properties, books, records and personnel of the Company during the period prior to the Effective Time to obtain all information concerning the business, including the status of product development efforts, properties, financial positions, results of operations and personnel of the Company, as Parent may reasonably request.

    (c)     No information or knowledge obtained by Parent in any investigation pursuant to this Section 5.3 will affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty contained herein or the conditions to the obligations of the parties to consummate the Transactions.

        5.4     No Solicitation.

    (a)     No Solicitation. From and after the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Effective Time or the termination of this Agreement pursuant to its terms, the Company and its subsidiaries shall not, nor shall they authorize or permit any of their respective officers and directors (or affiliates of any of such officers or directors), affiliates, or

43

employees or any investment banker, attorney, accountant or other advisor or representative retained by the Company or any subsidiaries (collectively, "Representatives") to directly or indirectly: (i) solicit, initiate, or knowingly encourage, facilitate or induce any inquiry with respect to, or the making, submission or announcement of, any Acquisition Proposal (as defined in Section 5.4(g)(i)) with respect to the Company or any subsidiary, (ii) participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any person any nonpublic information with respect to, or knowingly facilitate any inquiries or the making of any proposal that constitutes or may reasonably be expected to lead to, any Acquisition Proposal with respect to the Company or any subsidiary, (iii) engage in discussions with any person with respect to any Acquisition Proposal with respect to the Company or any subsidiary, except as to the existence of these provisions and to the extent specifically permitted pursuant to Section 5.4(d), (iv) approve, endorse or recommend any Acquisition Proposal with respect to the Company or any subsidiary (except to the extent specifically permitted pursuant to Section 5.4(d)), or (v) enter into any letter of intent or similar document or any contract agreement or commitment contemplating or otherwise relating to any Acquisition Proposal or transaction contemplated thereby with respect to the Company or any subsidiary. The Company and its subsidiaries will immediately cease any and all existing activities, discussions or negotiations with any third parties conducted heretofore with respect to any Acquisition Proposal.

    (b)     Notification of Unsolicited Acquisition Proposals.

    (i)     As promptly as practicable (but in no event more than 48 hours) after the first officer or director of the Company becomes aware of the receipt of any Acquisition Proposal or any request for nonpublic information or inquiry which the Board reasonably believes would lead to an Acquisition Proposal, the Company shall provide to Parent oral and written notice of the material terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry, and the identity of the person or group making any such Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry and a copy of all written materials provided in connection with such Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry. The Company shall provide to Parent as promptly as practicable (but in no event more than 48 hours thereafter) oral and written notice setting forth all such information as is reasonably necessary to keep Parent informed in all material respects of the status and details (including material amendments or proposed material amendments) of any such Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry and shall promptly provide to Parent a copy of all written materials subsequently provided in connection with such Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry (to the extent such nonpublic information has not been previously so furnished).

    (ii)     The Company shall provide Parent with 48 hours prior notice (or such lesser prior notice as is provided to the members of the Board) of any meeting at which the Board is reasonably expected to consider any Acquisition Proposal.

    (c)     Superior Offers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event that the Company or any subsidiary receives an unsolicited, bona fide written Acquisition Proposal from a third party that the Board has in good faith concluded (after consultation with its outside legal counsel and its financial advisor), is, or is reasonably expected to result in, a Superior Offer (as defined in Section 5.4(g)(ii)), the

44

Company and its Representatives on behalf of the Company may then take the following actions (but only if and to the extent that the Board concludes in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that such action is required in order for the Board to comply with its fiduciary duties to the Company's stockholders under applicable law):

    (i)     Furnish nonpublic information to the third party making such Acquisition Proposal, provided that (A) (1) concurrently with furnishing any such nonpublic information to such party, it gives Parent written notice of its intention to furnish nonpublic information and (2) it receives from the third party an executed confidentiality agreement containing customary limitations on the use and disclosure of all nonpublic written and oral information furnished to such third party on its behalf, the terms of which are at least as restrictive to such third party as the terms contained in the Confidentiality Agreement and (B) contemporaneously with furnishing any such nonpublic information to such third party, the Company furnishes such nonpublic information to Parent (to the extent such nonpublic information has not been previously so furnished); and

    (ii)     Engage in discussions and negotiations with the third party with respect to the Acquisition Proposal, provided that concurrently with entering into discussions and negotiations with such third party, the Company gives Parent written notice of the Company's intention to enter into discussions and negotiations with such third party.

    (d)     Changes of Recommendation. In response to the receipt of a Superior Offer, the Board may withhold, withdraw, amend or modify its unanimous recommendation in favor of the Merger, recommend a Superior Offer and, in the case of a Superior Offer that is a tender or exchange offer made directly to its stockholders, may recommend that its stockholders accept the tender or exchange offer (any of the foregoing actions, whether by the Board or a committee thereof, a "Change of Recommendation"), if all of the following conditions in clauses (i) through (vi) are met:

    (i)     A Superior Offer with respect to the Company has been made and has not been withdrawn;

    (ii)     The Stockholders' Meeting has not occurred;

    (iii)     The Company shall have (A) provided to Parent written notice which shall state expressly (1) that the Company has received a Superior Offer, (2) the material terms and conditions of the Superior Offer and the identity of the person or group making the Superior Offer, and (3) that the Board intends to effect a Change of Recommendation and the manner in which it intends to do so, (B) provided to Parent a copy of all written materials delivered to the person or group making the Superior Offer in connection with such Superior Offer, and (C) made available to Parent all materials and information made available to the person or group making the Superior Offer in connection with such Superior Offer (unless such materials have been previously provided);

    (iv)     The Board has concluded in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that, in light of such Superior Offer, the Change of Recommendation is

45

required in order for the Board to comply with its fiduciary duties to the Company's stockholders under applicable law;

    (v)     Parent shall not have, within three (3) days of Parent's receipt of the notice referred to in Section 5.4(d)(iii), made an offer that the Board by a majority vote determines in its good faith judgment (after consultation with its financial advisor) to be at least as favorable, from a financial point of view, to the Company's stockholders as such Superior Offer (it being agreed that (A) the Board shall convene a meeting to consider any such offer by Parent promptly following receipt thereof, (B) that the Board will not withhold, withdraw, amend or modify its recommendation to the Company's stockholders in favor of the adoption of this Agreement for three (3) days after receipt by Parent of the notice referred to in Section 5.4(d)(iii), and (C) any change to the financial or other material terms of such Superior Offer shall require a new notice pursuant to Section 5.4(d)(iii) and a new three (3) day period under this Section 5.4(d)(v).

    (vi)     It shall not have breached any of the provisions set forth in this Section 5.4.

    (e)     Continuing Obligation to Call, Hold and Convene Stockholders' Meeting; No Other Vote. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement (but subject to the Company's right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(e)), the obligation of the Company to call, give notice of, convene and hold the Stockholders' Meeting shall not be limited or otherwise affected by the commencement, disclosure, announcement or submission to it of any Acquisition Proposal with respect to it, or by any Change of Recommendation. Prior to the earlier of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to its terms or the Effective Time, the Company shall not submit to the vote of its stockholders any Acquisition Proposal, or propose to do so.

    (f)     Compliance with Tender Offer Rules. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit the Board from taking any action necessary to comply with Rules 14d-9 and 14e-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act, or from making any other disclosure if in the good faith judgment of the Board, after consultation and written advice of its legal counsel, failure to do so would result in a violation of law, provided, however, that the content of any such disclosure shall be governed by the terms of this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing proviso, the Company shall not effect a Change of Recommendation unless specifically permitted pursuant to the terms of Section 5.4(d).

    (g)     Certain Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

        5.5     Public Disclosure.

    (a)     Unless otherwise required by law, Parent and Merger Sub, on the one hand, and Company on the other hand, shall, to the extent reasonably practicable, consult with each other, and give each other reasonable opportunity to review and consent, before issuing any press release or other public statements with respect to this Agreement, the Merger and the Transactions.

    (b)     The Company and Parent shall give prompt notice (but in no event more than 48 hours) to the other upon becoming aware that any representation or warranty made by it contained in this Agreement has become untrue or inaccurate in any material respect, or of any failure of the Company to comply with or satisfy in any material respect any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it under this Agreement, in each case, such that the conditions set forth in Article VI would not be satisfied; provided, however, that no such notification shall affect the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the parties or the conditions to the obligations of the parties under this Agreement. The Company and Parent will notify the other of any actions, suits, claims, investigations or proceedings commenced or threatened in writing against, relating to or involving or otherwise affecting such party or any of its subsidiaries that relate to the consummation of the Merger.

        5.7     Third Party Consents and Notices.

The insurance purchased pursuant to this Section 5.8(b) shall be prepaid in its entirety at the Effective Time and non-cancellable by Parent or Surviving Corporation and evidence of such insurance will be delivered by the Company at Closing.

        5.9     Regulatory Filings.

    (a)     Each of Parent and the Company shall promptly after the execution of this Agreement apply for or otherwise seek, and use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, all consents and approvals of Governmental Entities required to be obtained by it for the consummation of the Merger. Without limiting the generality or effect of the foregoing, each of Parent and the Company shall, as soon as practicable, make any initial filings required under the HSR Act, and as promptly as practicable make any other additional filings required by any other applicable Antitrust Laws (as hereinafter defined). The parties shall consult and cooperate with one another, and consider in good faith the views of one another, in connection with any analyses, appearances, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions and proposals made or submitted by or on behalf of any party hereto in connection with proceedings under or relating to the HSR Act or other Antitrust Law; provided, that with respect to any such analyses, appearances, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions or proposals, each of Parent and the Company need not supply the other (or its

counsel) with copies (or in case of oral presentations, a summary) to the extent that any law, treaty, rule or regulation of any Governmental Entity applicable to such party requires such party or its subsidiaries to restrict or prohibit access to any such properties or information.

    (b)     Each party will notify the other promptly upon the receipt of: (i) any comments from any officials of any Governmental Entity in connection with any filings made pursuant hereto, and (ii) any request by any officials of any Governmental Entity for amendments or supplements to any filings made pursuant to, or information provided to comply in all material respects with, any Legal Requirements.

    (c)     Each of Parent and the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to resolve such objections, if any, as may be asserted by any Governmental Entity with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement under the HSR Act, the Sherman Act, as amended, the Clayton Act, as amended, the Federal Trade Commission Act, as amended, and any other federal or state statutes, rules, regulations, orders or decrees that are designed to prohibit, restrict or regulate actions having the purpose or effect of monopolization or restraint of trade (collectively, "Antitrust Laws"). Each of Parent and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take such action as may be required to cause the expiration of the notice periods under the HSR Act or other Antitrust Laws with respect to such transactions as promptly as practicable after the execution of this Agreement. Parent and the Company shall take any and all of the following actions to the extent necessary to obtain the approval of any Governmental Entity with jurisdiction over the enforcement of any applicable laws regarding the transactions contemplated hereby: (i) entering into negotiations; (ii) providing information required by law or governmental regulation; and (iii) substantially complying with any "second request" for information pursuant to the Antitrust Laws.

    (d)     Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any administrative or judicial action or proceeding is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) challenging any transaction contemplated by this Agreement as violative of any Antitrust Law, it is expressly understood and agreed that: (i) Parent shall not have any obligation to litigate or contest any administrative or judicial action or proceeding or any decree, judgment, injunction or other order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent; and (ii) Parent shall be under no obligation to make proposals, execute or carry out agreements or submit to orders providing for a Divestiture. "Divestiture" shall mean (A) the sale, license or other disposition or holding separate (through the establishment of a trust or otherwise) of any assets or categories of assets of Parent or any of its affiliates or the Company, (B) the imposition of any limitation or restriction on the ability of Parent or any of its Affiliates to freely conduct their business or the Company's business or own such assets, or (C) the holding separate of the shares of Company Common Stock or any limitation or regulation on the ability of Parent or any of its Affiliates to exercise full rights of ownership of the shares of Company Common Stock.

50

    (e)     Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, nothing in this Section 5.9 shall limit a party's right to terminate the Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(b) so long as such party has until such date complied with its obligations under this Section 5.9.

        5.10     Termination of Certain Benefit Plans. Effective no later than the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, the Company and its ERISA Affiliates, as applicable, shall each terminate any and all group severance, separation or salary continuation plans, programs or arrangements and any and all plans intended to include a Code Section 401(k) arrangement (unless Parent provides written notice to the Company that such 401(k) plans shall not be terminated) (collectively, for purposes of this Section 5.10, the "Company Employee Plans"). Unless Parent provides such written notice to the Company, no later than five (5) business days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall provide Parent with evidence that such Company Employee Plan(s) have been terminated (effective no later than the day immediately preceding the Closing Date) pursuant to resolutions of the Board. The form and substance of such resolutions shall be subject to advance review and approval of Parent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). The Company also shall take such other actions in furtherance of terminating such Company Employee Plan(s) as Parent may reasonably require.

        5.11     Employee Benefits. As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, Parent shall provide the employees of the Company and its subsidiaries who remain employed after the Effective Time (each, a "Transferred Company Employee" and collectively, the "Transferred Company Employees") with similar types and levels of employee benefits as those provided to similarly situated employees of Parent; provided that nothing herein shall preclude Parent from maintaining one or more of the Company's benefit plans and programs for a transition period following the Effective Time. Parent shall treat and cause its applicable benefit plans to treat the service of Transferred Company Employees with the Company or any subsidiary of the Company prior to the Effective Time as service rendered to Parent or any affiliate of Parent for purposes of eligibility to participate and vesting in Parent benefit plans, including applicability of minimum waiting periods for participation. Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide that no Transferred Company Employee, or any of his or her eligible dependents, who, at the Effective Time, are participating in the Company group health plan shall be excluded from the Parent's group plan (unless covered under one of the Company's group health plans), or limited in coverage thereunder, by reason of any waiting period restriction or pre-existing condition limitation; provided that such Transferred Employees meet applicable at work requirements as of the Effective Time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent shall not be required to provide any coverage, benefits, or credit inconsistent with the terms of Parent benefit plans or under circumstances in which such coverage, benefits or credit would result in a duplication of benefits.

        5.12     Section 16 Matters. Provided that the Company delivers to Parent the Section 16 Information (as defined below) in a timely fashion, Parent and the Company shall take all such steps as may be required (to the extent permitted under applicable law) to cause any disposition of Company Common Stock (including derivative securities with respect to Company Common Stock) resulting from the transactions contemplated by Article I of this Agreement by each Company Insider to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act. "Section 16 Information" shall mean information regarding the Company Insiders (as defined below), the number of shares of Company Common Stock held by each such Company Insider and expected to be exchanged for cash in connection with the Merger, and the number and description of the Company Options held by each such Company Insider and expected to be converted into cash in connection with the Merger. "Company

51

Insiders" shall mean those individuals who are subject to the reporting requirement of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act with respect to the Company.

        5.13     Cash Deposit by Parent. Concurrent with (and contingent upon) the Closing of the Merger, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Parent shall deposit with the Company a sufficient amount in cash to be applied to (i) purchase and extinguish all of the outstanding Company Bonds (as hereinafter defined), (ii) repay in full and extinguish the Company's revolving credit facility, (c) satisfy and extinguish all severance, change in control and other employment termination-related obligations, but not more than $1,100,000 for these items, and (iii) pay for reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Company and any subsidiary in connection with or arising out of this Agreement and the consummation of the Merger and other transactions contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, all obligations of the Company and any subsidiary to its legal counsel, financial advisors, agents engaged in connection with the tender offer for Company Bonds (including any information agent, dealer/manager and depositary agent) and accountants, but not more than $1,700,000. Notwithstanding (i) above, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as a prohibition against Parent making permissible purchases of the Company Bonds in open-market transactions in accordance with applicable laws. At the Closing, and in Parent's sole discretion, Parent may pay all, some or none of the forgoing amounts directly to the counterparty of such Liability.

        5.14     Debt Tender Offer.

    (a)     As soon as practicable on or about December 22, 2006 (or such other time as may be decided by the Company and Parent), the Company shall launch a cash tender offer (the "Debt Tender Offer") at least twenty business days prior to the Closing Date for at least 97% of the outstanding Senior Secured Notes due February 3, 2009 of the Company (the "Company Bonds"), on the terms and conditions set forth on Section 5.14 of the Company Disclosure Letter. Such Debt Tender Offer shall be conducted in accordance with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and other applicable Legal Requirements.

    (b)     Promptly after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall prepare all necessary and appropriate documentation in connection with the Debt Tender Offer, including the offer to purchase, letters of transmittal and other related documents (collectively, the "Offer Documents"), and such Offer Documents shall comply as to form and substance with applicable Legal Requirements, including but not limited to the requirements under the Exchange Act. Parent shall cooperate with the Company as, in the reasonable judgment of Parent, the Company or their respective counsel, may be necessary or appropriate for the preparation of the Offer Documents such that the Debt Tender Offer can commence at least twenty business days prior to the Closing Date. The Offer Documents shall be subject to the prior review and consent of Parent, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld.

    (e)     If at any time prior to the Effective Time, any information relating to the Company or any of its subsidiaries, affiliates, officers or directors, which if not set forth in an amendment or supplement to the documents mailed to holders in respect of the Debt Tender Offer would reasonably be expected to cause such documents to include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, should be discovered by the Company, any Employee or advisor to the Company, the Company shall promptly notify Parent

52

and, to the extent required by law, rules or regulations, an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall promptly be prepared and, if required, filed with the SEC and/or disseminated to the holders of the Company Bonds.

    (vii)     For purposes of this Section 7.3, this Agreement shall be deemed terminated by Parent pursuant to a provision giving rise to the obligation to pay the Termination Fee and Expenses if at the time of any termination hereunder Parent was so entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to such provision; provided that solely for the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall not be required to pay the Termination Fee and Expenses pursuant to more than one clause of this Section 7.3.
