WHEREAS, pursuant to a Loan Agreement dated January 28, 1998 and related agreements, instruments and documents, all as amended from time to time (collectively, the "Credit Documents"), PNC Bank, National Association (the "Senior Lender") has made loans, advances, and extensions of credit ("Line of Credit") to the Company up to a maximum principal outstanding amount of $2,300,000 as of April 13, 2001;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants, agreements, and warranties contained herein, the Parties agree as follows: ARTICLE I THE MERGER 1.1 The Merger; Filing and Effective Time of the Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement and in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL"), at the Effective Time (as defined below), the Company shall merge with and into NewCo. As a result of the Merger, the separate corporate existence of the Company shall cease and NewCo shall be the Surviving Entity (the "Surviving Entity") in the Merger. The Company, Buyer, and Newco shall cause the Merger to be consummated as soon as practicable on the Closing Date (as defined below) by filing a certificate of merger in the form attached as Exhibit A (the "Certificate of Merger") with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in such form as required by and executed in accordance with the relevant provisions of the DGCL (the date and time of the filing of the Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or such later time as is agreed to by the Company, Buyer, and Newco and set forth therein being the "Effective Time"). 1.2 The Closing. (a) The closing of the Merger (the "Closing") shall occur only upon Buyer's election by notice to the Company at least five days prior to the Closing Date (as defined below). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Buyer does not have any obligation to complete the Merger or consummate the transactions contemplated herein and may decide, at Buyer's sole and absolute discretion, at any time until this Agreement has been terminated whether or not to complete the Merger and consummate the transactions contemplated herein. (b) Subject to Section 1.2(a), unless this Agreement shall have been terminated and the transactions contemplated herein shall have been abandoned pursuant to ARTICLE VII and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in ARTICLE VI, the Closing shall take place at the offices of Foley & Lardner in Tampa, Florida, commencing at 9:00 a.m. local time, on the last day of the calendar quarter (i.e., either March 31, June 30, September 30, or December 31) that occurs at least five days following Buyer's notice to the Company that Buyer has decided to consummate the Merger (unless another date or place is agreed to in writing by the Company, Buyer, and Newco) (the "Closing Date"). Subject to the foregoing, if the Closing occurs (at Buyer's election by notice to the Company at least five days prior to such date), the Closing Date must be on or before the later of the following (the "Expiration Date"): (A) December 31, 2002, assuming (i) Delivery Ready Status is achieved by December 1, 2002, and (ii) all principal and interest under the FARO Loans has been repaid in full by December 1, 2002, or (B) the last day of any month during the 12 full calendar months following the date that both (i) Delivery Ready Status is achieved and (ii) all principal and interest under the FARO Loans is repaid in full. 1.3 Effects of the Merger. The Merger shall have the effects set forth in the applicable provisions of the DGCL. 3 1.4 Actions at the Closing and Following the Closing. At the Closing, (a) the Company shall deliver to Buyer and NewCo the various certificates, instruments, and documents referred to in Section 6.1, (b) Buyer and NewCo shall deliver to the Company the various certificates, instruments and documents referred to in Section 6.2, (c) the Company and NewCo shall file the Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. Following the Closing, Buyer shall deliver the Buyer's Closing Payment to the Exchange Agent in accordance with Section 1.9 and to the Escrow Agent in accordance with Section 1.10. 1.5 Additional Action. The Surviving Entity may, at any time after the Effective Time, take any action, including executing and delivering any document, in the name and on behalf of either the Company or NewCo, in order to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 1.6 Conversion of Securities. (a) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any Party or the holder of any of the Shares, the issued and outstanding Shares immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Shares held in the Company's treasury) shall be converted into and represent the right to receive in the aggregate (A) 90% of the Buyer's Closing Payment plus (B) the right to receive payments, if any, of the Escrow Amount under the Escrow Agreement (collectively, the "Merger Consideration"). The Escrow Amount shall be funded (i) first, out of the Merger Consideration to be paid to the holders of the Company Common Stock (other than Restricted Company Common Stock); (ii) then, to the extent of any shortfall in the Escrow Amount, by the portion of the Merger Consideration, if any, to be paid to the holders of the Company Preferred Stock consisting of cash; and (iii) then, to the extent of any remaining shortfall in the Escrow Amount, by the portion of the Merger Consideration to be paid to the holders of the Company Preferred Stock which consists of Buyer Common Stock. The Merger Consideration shall be paid to holders of Shares in accordance with Sections 1.9 and 1.10. The portion of the Merger Consideration into which each class of the Shares shall be converted and represent the right to receive at the Effective Time is as follows: (i) Each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares held in the Company's treasury) shall be converted into and represent the right to receive (A) (i) the amount of cash, if any, and the number of shares of Buyer Common Stock listed under the caption "Common Stock Merger Consideration" on Schedule B hereto (subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 1.8 hereof) (all of which shall be part of the Escrow Amount and held under the Escrow Agreement), and (ii) the right to receive payments, if any, of the Escrow Amount under the Escrow Agreement, divided by (B) the issued and outstanding shares of Company Common Stock. The Company has determined that it is in the best interests of its stockholders to avoid the expenses of administration associated with providing the rights described in the preceding clause (A)(ii) as part of the Merger Consideration to be received by holders of Restricted Company Common Stock, particularly in light of the fact that such shares cannot vest until after the expiration of the Escrow Agreement. Consequently, in lieu of receiving the right to receive payments under the Escrow Agreement pursuant to the preceding clause (A)(ii), the Merger Consideration to be received by each holder of Restricted Company Common Stock shall consist solely of the number of shares of Buyer Common Stock listed under the caption "Common Stock Merger Consideration" on Schedule B hereto (subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 1.8 hereof), with no reduction for the Escrow Amount, divided by the issued and outstanding shares of Restricted Company Common Stock . Holders of Restricted Company Common Stock shall have no claim, right, or interest in any further amounts paid to the Company's stockholders pursuant to this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement. 4 Holders of shares of Restricted Company Common Stock (such holders and the number of shares of restricted Company Common Stock held by them are set forth on Schedule B hereto) shall be issued shares of Buyer Common Stock pursuant to this subsection that are subject to the Restricted Stock Agreement attached as Exhibit H hereto. (ii) Each share of Series A Preferred issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares held in the Company's treasury) shall be converted into and represent the right to receive (A) (i) the amount of cash, if any, and the number of shares of Buyer Common Stock listed under the caption "Series A Merger Consideration" on Schedule B hereto (subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 1.8 hereof), less the amount which shall be part of the Escrow Amount and held under the Escrow Agreement and (ii) the right to receive payments, if any, of the Escrow Amount under the Escrow Agreement, divided by (B) the issued and outstanding shares of Series A Preferred. (iii) Each share of Series B Preferred issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares held in the Company's treasury) shall be converted into and represent the right to receive (A) (i) the amount of cash, if any, and the number of shares of Buyer Common Stock listed under the caption "Series B Merger Consideration" on Schedule B hereto (subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 1.8 hereof), less the amount which shall be part of the Escrow Amount and held under the Escrow Agreement and (ii) the right to receive payments, if any, of the Escrow Amount under the Escrow Agreement, divided by (B) the issued and outstanding shares of Series B Preferred. (iv) Each share of Series C Preferred issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares held in the Company's treasury) shall be converted into and represent the right to receive (A) (i) the amount of cash, if any, and the number of shares of Buyer Common Stock listed under the caption "Series C Merger Consideration" on Schedule B hereto (subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 1.8 hereof), less the amount which shall be part of the Escrow Amount and held under the Escrow Agreement and (ii) the right to receive payments, if any, of the Escrow Amount under the Escrow Agreement, divided by (B) the issued and outstanding shares of Series C Preferred. (v) Each share of Series D Preferred issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares held in the Company's treasury) shall be converted into and represent the right to receive (A) (i) the amount of cash, if any, and the number of shares of Buyer Common Stock listed under the caption "Series D Merger Consideration" on Schedule B hereto, (subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 1.8 hereof), less the amount which shall be part of the Escrow Amount and held under the Escrow Agreement and (ii) the right to receive payments, if any, of the Escrow Amount under the Escrow Agreement, divided by (B) the issued and outstanding shares of Series D Preferred. (vi) Each share of Series E-1 Preferred issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares held in the Company's treasury) shall be converted into and represent the right to receive (A) (i) the amount of cash, if any, and the number of shares of Buyer Common Stock listed under the caption "Series E-1 Merger Consideration" on Schedule B hereto, (subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 1.8 hereof), less the amount which shall be part of the Escrow Amount and held under the Escrow Agreement and (ii) the right to receive payments, if any, 5 of the Escrow Amount under the Escrow Agreement, divided by (B) the issued and outstanding shares of Series E-1 Preferred. (vii) Each Share held in the Company's treasury immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and retired without payment of any consideration therefor. (b) All of the interests of NewCo issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain issued and outstanding following the Effective Time. 1.7 Calculation of Buyer's Closing Payment. (a) Subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 1.8 hereof, the "Buyer's Closing Payment" will be equal to (A) if the Adjusted Working Capital on the Closing Date minus the outstanding amount of principal and accrued interest of the FARO Loans on the Closing Date is greater than zero, then an amount of cash equal to 50% of such amount (with no cash constituting part of the Buyer's Closing Payment if the Adjusted Working Capital on the Closing Date minus the outstanding amount of principal and accrued interest of the FARO Loans on the Closing Date is equal to or less than zero), plus (B) a number of shares of Buyer Common Stock calculated pursuant to the following formula: 15.725% of the issued and outstanding shares of Buyer Common Stock on the Closing Date, less; (i) If (A) the Adjusted Working Capital on the Closing Date minus (B) the outstanding amount of principal and accrued interest of the FARO Loans on the Closing Date, is between zero and negative $1,000,000, then up to 1.7 percentage points of such 15.725% of the issued and outstanding shares of Buyer Common Stock computed on a pro rata basis with a full 1.7 percentage point reduction if (A) minus (B) hereof is at least negative $1,000,000, or; (ii) If (A) the Adjusted Working Capital on the Closing Date minus (B) the outstanding amount of principal and accrued interest of the FARO Loans on the Closing Date, is less than negative $1,000,000, then a 1.7 percentage point reduction for the first negative $1,000,000 of (A) minus (B) hereof and up to an additional 3.4 percentage points of such 15.725% of the issued and outstanding shares of Buyer Common Stock computed on a pro rata basis with a full 3.4 percentage point reduction for each additional negative $1,000,000 of (A) minus (B) hereof. (b) For purposes of this Section 1.7, the number of "issued and outstanding shares of Buyer Common Stock on the Closing Date" that is used to calculate the number of shares of Buyer Common Stock that will be part of Buyer's Closing Payment shall also include (i) the shares of Buyer Common Stock to be issued pursuant to this Section 1.7 and (ii) the 241,409 shares of Buyer Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of options outstanding as of the date hereof to purchase shares of Buyer Common Stock at an exercise price of less than $3.00 per share, and shall not include any other shares of Buyer Common Stock issuable upon exercise of options to purchase Buyer Common Stock, whether outstanding as of the date hereof or issued subsequent to the date hereof. (c) The following are examples of the calculation of the Buyer's Closing Payment: 6 (i) If the FARO Loans have been fully repaid and no amounts are outstanding on the Closing Date and the Adjusted Working Capital on the Closing Date equals $200,000, then the Buyer's Closing Payment shall equal (A) $100,000 in cash (50% of the Adjusted Working Capital) and (B) 15.725% of the issued and outstanding shares of Buyer Common Stock. Assuming 10,000,000 shares of Buyer Common Stock are issued and outstanding on the Closing Date (disregarding the shares of Buyer Common Stock to be issued pursuant to this Section 1.7), the Buyer's Closing Payment would equal $100,000 cash and 1,865,915 shares of Buyer Common Stock (15.725% of the sum of 10,000,000 shares + 1,865,915 shares). (ii) If the outstanding amount of the FARO Loans on the Closing Date equals $500,000 and the Adjusted Working Capital on the Closing Date equals $600,000, then the Buyer's Closing Payment shall equal (A) $50,000 in cash (50% of the Adjusted Working Capital minus the FARO Loans) and (B) 15.725% of the issued and outstanding shares of Buyer Common Stock. Assuming 10,000,000 shares of Buyer Common Stock are issued and outstanding on the Closing Date, (disregarding the Shares to be issued pursuant to this Section 1.7) the Buyer's Closing Payment would equal $50,000 cash and 1,865,915 shares of Buyer Common Stock (15.725% of the sum of 10,000,000 shares + 1,865,915 shares). (iii) If the outstanding amount of the FARO Loans on the Closing Date equals $300,000 and the Adjusted Working Capital on the Closing Date equals negative $200,000, then the Buyer's Closing Payment shall equal (A) no cash and (B) 15.725% less .85% (one-half of 1.7% for the total $500,000 of FARO Loans and negative Adjusted Working Capital), or 14.875%, of the issued and outstanding shares of Buyer Common Stock. Assuming 10,000,000 shares of Buyer Common Stock are issued and outstanding on the Closing Date (disregarding the shares of Buyer Common Stock to be issued pursuant to this Section 1.7), the Buyer's Closing Payment would equal 1,747,430 shares of Buyer Common Stock (14.875% of the sum of 10,000,000 shares + 1,747,430 shares). (iv) If the outstanding amount of the FARO Loans on the Closing Date equals $2,350,000 and the Adjusted Working Capital on the Closing Date equals positive $100,000, then the Buyer's Closing Payment shall equal (A) no cash and (B) 15.725% less 1.7% (for the first $1,000,000 of the FARO Loans and negative Adjusted Working Capital), less 3.4% (for the second $1,000,000 of the FARO Loans and negative Adjusted Working Capital), less .85% (one-fourth of 3.4% for the last $250,000 of the sum of FARO Loans and Adjusted Working Capital), or 9.775%, of the issued and outstanding shares of Buyer Common Stock. Assuming 10,000,000 shares of Buyer Common Stock are issued and outstanding on the Closing Date (disregarding the shares of Buyer Common Stock to be issued pursuant to this Section 1.7) , the Buyer's Closing Payment would equal 1,083,402 shares of Buyer Common Stock (9.775% of the sum of 10,000,000 shares + 1,083,402 shares). (d) Buyer will deliver 90% of the Buyer's Closing Payment to the Exchange Agent pursuant to the Section 1.9 hereof and 10% of the Buyer's Closing Payment to the Escrow Agent pursuant to Section 1.10 hereof. 1.8 Determination of Buyer's Closing Payment. (a) The Adjusted Working Capital and the Final Balance Sheet (as defined below) shall be calculated in good faith and in accordance with GAAP, as modified by the principles set forth in the definition of Adjusted Working Capital in ARTICLE IX hereof. 7 (b) During each month from the date of this Agreement and until the Closing or termination of this Agreement, the Company will prepare and deliver to Buyer a good faith estimation of its Adjusted Working Capital as of the last day of such month, along with reasonable documentation substantiating its estimates. (c) For purposes of determining Buyer's Closing Payment, within 20 days following the Closing Date, the Stockholder Representative will prepare and deliver to Buyer a good faith estimation of (i) a balance sheet of Company as of the close of business on the Closing Date (the "Final Balance Sheet") and (ii) the Company's Adjusted Working Capital as of the Closing Date, along with schedules setting forth in reasonable detail all assets and liabilities included in the Final Balance Sheet and reasonable documentation substantiating its estimates. (d) Within 105 days after the Buyer's receipt of the Stock- holder Representative's good faith estimation of a Final Balance Sheet and the Company's Adjusted Working Capital pursuant to Section 1.8(c) hereof, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to the Stockholder Representative the calculation of the Buyer's final determination of Buyer's Closing Payment, including the Final Balance Sheet and Adjusted Working Capital as of the Closing Date (the "Final Determination"). The Final Determination shall take into account the net collections of accounts receivable from the Closing Date and only such net collections shall be in included in the computation of the Adjusted Working Capital. Buyer and the Stockholder Representative desire to agree on the Final Determination within a maximum time of 180 days following the Closing Date pursuant to the subsections (d) and (e) hereof. (e) Within 10 days after the delivery of the Final Determination to the Stockholder Representative pursuant to Section 1.8(d) hereof, the Stockholder Representative shall either accept Buyer's calculations set forth in the Final Determination as correct or object to the Final Determination, specifying in reasonable detail in writing the nature of the objection(s). In the event that the Stockholder Representative does not object to the Final Determination within such 10-day period, the Stockholder Representative and the other stockholders of the Company at the Effective Time (other than stockholders asserting appraisal rights) shall be deemed to have accepted the Final Determination as so set forth. In the event that the Stock- holder Representative objects to the Final Determination, then, during a 10-day period subsequent to the receipt by Buyer of the Stockholder Representative's notice of objection(s), Buyer and the Stockholder Representative shall attempt in good faith to resolve any differences respecting the Final Determination. In the event that Buyer and the Stockholder Representative are unable to resolve their differences within such 10-day period (unless extended by the mutual consent of Buyer and the Stockholder Representative), any remaining disputes will be resolved by PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP or, if PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP is not willing to serve in such capacity, then KPMG Peat Marwick, LLP, or, if KPMG Peat Marwick, LLP is not willing to serve in such capacity, a national or regional firm of independent certified public accountants mutually acceptable to Buyer and the Stockholder Representative (such firm referred to as the "CPA Firm"). The Parties acknowledge that the CPA Firm is a mutually acceptable firm of independent certified public accountants. The costs and expenses of the CPA Firm shall be borne equally by the stockholders of the Company at the Effective Time (by way of reduction of Buyer's Closing Payment) and Buyer. The CPA Firm shall resolve any disputed amounts and shall determine the Final Determination as promptly as practicable, but in any event within 30 days following submission of such matter to the CPA Firm. The CPA Firm's calculation of the Final Determination shall be delivered in writing to Buyer and the Stockholder Representative. Any objections to the CPA Firm's calculation of the Final Determination must be raised within five days and will be resolved pursuant to ARTICLE X hereof. In the event that neither Buyer nor the Stockholder Representative objects to the CPA Firm's 8 calculation of the Final Determination within such five-day period, Buyer and the Stockholder Representative and the other stockholders of the Company at the Effective Time (other than stockholders asserting appraisal rights) shall be deemed to have accepted the Final Determination as so set forth. 1.9 Exchange Agent. (a) Within two business days after the completion of the Final Determination pursuant to Section 1.8 hereof, Buyer shall deposit or shall cause to be deposited in trust with the Exchange Agent 90% of the Buyer's Closing Payment. Within the time required by the Exchange Agent Agreement, the Exchange Agent shall distribute such amount as required by the Exchange Agent Agreement to the holders of the Shares as of the Effective Time. The Exchange Agent will deliver to Buyer and the Stockholder Representative a certificate setting forth the amounts distributed to the holders of Shares as of the Effective Time pursuant to this Section. (b) Immediately following the Effective Time, the Exchange Agent shall make available to each holder of Shares as of the Effective Time a letter of transmittal in the form of Exhibit B (a "Letter of Transmittal") and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the certificates by the holders thereof that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented a Share or Shares (the "Certificates"). Payment shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass only upon proper completion, execution, and delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent. Proper completion, execution, and delivery of the Letters of Transmittal and the Certificates, and their acceptance by the Exchange Agent and Buyer, shall be a condition precedent to any payments under this Agreement. Upon delivery to the Exchange Agent of a Certificate together with a duly executed Letter of Transmittal, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Merger Consideration pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. (c) In case of any lost, stolen, or destroyed Certificate, the holder thereof may be required, as a condition precedent to delivery to such holder of the Merger Consideration, to deliver to the Surviving Entity a bond in such reasonable sum or a satisfactory indemnity agreement as the Surviving Entity may direct as security against any claim that may be made against the Exchange Agent or the Surviving Entity with respect to the Certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen, or destroyed. 1.10 Escrow Agent. Within two business days after the completion of the Final Determination pursuant to Section 1.8 hereof, Buyer shall deposit or shall cause to be deposited 10% of the Buyer's Closing Payment (the "Escrow Amount") with the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall distribute the Escrow Amount as required by the Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Amount shall remain in escrow pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement to secure each and all of the following: (i) The Escrow Amount will secure the indemnifica- tion obligations pursuant to Section 8.1 hereof; (ii) The Escrow Amount will secure the retention of certain key employees of the Company following the Closing pursuant to Section 5.3 hereof; and (iii) To the extent that accounts receivable as of the Closing Date (not including any reserve for account receivables that are not part of the Adjusted Working Capital in the 9 Final Determination) have not been fully collected by the date of the Final Determination, the amount of such uncollected accounts receivable shall not be included in the Adjusted Working Capital. To the extent that the Surviving Entity collects from the Company's accounts receivable as of the Closing Date more than the amount included within the Adjusted Working Capital in the Final Determination, the Buyer will pay such collected accounts to the Escrow Agent to be distributed to the holders of Shares as of the Effective Time pursuant to the Escrow Agreement. In the event that accounts receivable as of the Closing Date that are not included within the Adjusted Working Capital in the Final Determination are collected after the distribution of the Escrow, the Company shall distribute such net collections to the Stockholder Representative for distribution among the holders of the Shares in proportion to their respective share of the Merger Consideration. 1.11 Certificate of Formation, Limited Liability Company Agreement, Managers, and Officers.

(a) John Martinson (the "Stockholder Representative") is hereby appointed as the stockholder representative of the holders of the Shares. The Stockholder Representative shall have the authority, for and on behalf of the holders of the Shares (except for such holders, if any, who have perfected their appraisal rights under the DGCL), to take such actions and exercise such discretion as are required of the Stockholder Representative pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and any related 10 document or instrument (and any such actions shall be binding on each holder of Shares) including without limitation the following: (i) to receive, hold, and deliver to the Exchange Agent the Certificates and any other documents relating thereto on behalf of holders of the Shares; (ii) to give and receive communications and notices, to execute, acknowledge, deliver, record, and file all ancillary agreements, certificates, and documents that the Stockholder Representative deems necessary or appropriate in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (iii) to negotiate, agree to, enter into settlements and compromises of, and demand participation and arbitration and comply with orders and awards of courts and arbitrators with respect to claims for Damages and otherwise; (iv) to receive payments due under this Agreement and acknowledge receipt for such payments; (v) to negotiate, agree to, enter into settlements and compromises of, the Final Determination (including any actions pursuant to Section 1.8 hereof), the Merger Consideration, and all matters for the holders of Shares with respect to the Exchange Agent Agreement and the Escrow Agreement; (vi) to waive any breach or default under the Agreement or to waive any condition precedent to Closing under ARTICLE VI hereof; (vii) to amend this Agreement or any related document or instrument; (viii) to terminate this Agreement or any related document or instrument; (ix) to receive service of process in connection with any claims under this Agreement or any related document or instrument; (x) to perform the obligations and exercise the rights under this Agreement and any related document or instrument, including the settlement of claims and disputes with Buyer and NewCo; (xi) to take all actions necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Stockholder Representative to accomplish the foregoing; and (xii) to receive, accept, raise objections to, and negotiate the Final Determination. (b) The Stockholder Representative shall not be liable for any act done or omitted as Stockholder Representative unless its action or inaction constitutes willful misconduct or gross negligence. A decision, act, consent, or instruction of the Stockholder Representative shall constitute a decision for all of the holders of Shares and shall be final, binding, and conclusive upon each of such holders, and Buyer, NewCo and the Surviving Entity may rely upon any such decision, act, consent, or 11 instruction of the Stockholder Representative as being the decision, act, consent, or instruction of all holders of Shares. 1.15 Options. Prior to the Effective Time, all outstanding options, warrants, and other rights to acquire shares of capital stock of the Company (collectively, "Options") shall be required to be exercised or cancelled and forfeited.

If any holder of Shares asserts the right to dissent and demand payment pursuant to the DGCL as described above, the Company shall give Buyer prompt written notice thereof and Buyer shall have the right to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demands. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Buyer, voluntarily make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, and such demand for payment.

Acceptance by Buyer of the Bona Fide Offer shall be on the same terms and conditions as set forth in the Bona Fide Offer, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, and shall be made by Buyer's delivery to the Company of its notice to purchase the Business on the terms and conditions of the Bona Fide Offer, subject to the payment of cash in lieu of non-cash consideration, in an amount computed in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.7 hereof (the "Acceptance"). If Buyer shall not deliver the Acceptance to the Company within the prescribed time period, the Company shall have the right to accept the Bona Fide Offer in whole, but not in part, and to sell the Business in accordance with the terms thereof, but only in strict accordance with all of the provisions of the Bona Fide Offer, and only if the sale is fully consummated within one hundred twenty (120) days following the receipt of the Registered Notice by Buyer as provided for in this Section 5.7 (such time to be reasonably extended in order to compensate for any necessary governmental filings or approvals). In the event such sale is not fully consummated within such one hundred twenty (120) day period, the provisions of this Agreement must again be complied with by the Company before the Company may accept a Bona Fide Offer. (f) Valuation of Non-Cash Consideration. (i) The fair market value of non-cash consideration in the Bona Fide Offer consisting of marketable securities shall be paid by Buyer based upon the average closing price for such marketable securities for the twenty (20) trading days ending on the date immediately prior to the purchase by Buyer hereunder. Buyer, at its option, may pay in cash or in stock of Buyer, based upon the average closing prices for stock of Buyer for the twenty (20) trading days ending on the date immediately prior to the purchase by Buyer hereunder. (ii) The fair market value of non-cash consideration that does not consist of marketable securities shall be determined on the basis of an appraisal conducted by an independent, qualified professional appraiser selected by the Company and having at least five (5) years of experience valuing assets similar to those proposed to be paid in accordance with the Bona Fide Offer (a "Qualified Appraiser"). If Buyer objects to the valuation determined by the Company's chosen Qualified Appraiser, then Buyer shall, within fifteen (15) days of receipt of such determination, obtain a separate written appraisal of the disputed fair market value by another Qualified Appraiser and shall deliver to the Company a copy of such second appraisal. If the fair market value presented by such second appraiser is not less than ninety percent (90%) nor more than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the fair market value presented in the original appraisal, then the fair market value shall equal the 31 average of the two (2) appraisals. If a greater discrepancy exists between the first and second appraisals, then the Qualified Appraisers selected by Company and Buyer shall select a third Qualified Appraiser who shall, within thirty (30) days after selection, deliver to Company and Buyer a third written appraisal of the fair market value of the non-cash consideration and the fair market value of the non-cash consideration shall equal the average of the two (2) appraisals which are closest in amount. The cost of the initial appraisal and, if applicable, the second and third appraisals, shall be paid for one-half by each of Company and Buyer. 5.8 Sales of Infringing Product.

The aggregate amount of payments pursuant to this Section shall be a maximum of $400,000. For purposes of calculating the Final Determination, these payments will be deemed to be accrued on the day immediately preceding the Closing and will constitute a liability in the Final Determination. Buyer and the Stockholder Representative will mutually agree on the criteria for determining the amount and the allocation of this amount to specific employees. 5.10 Issuance of Restricted Company Common Stock. Within 90 days following the date hereof, the Company shall issue an aggregate of 1,583,550 shares of Restricted Company Common Stock in amounts and to employees of the Company determined by the Company's Board of Directors, provided that the determination of such amounts and such employees is approved by Buyer's Representatives.

The party or parties to be indemnified (whether one or more, the "Indemnified Party") will give the party from whom indemnification is sought (the "Indemnifying Party") prompt written notice of any such Claim, and shall permit the Indemnifying Party, at its option, to participate in the defense of such Claim by counsel of its own choice and at its expense. Failure to give such notice shall not affect the Indemnifying Party's duty or obligations under this Article 8, except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced thereby. If the Indemnifying Party acknowledges in writing its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party against any Damages (without limitation, except for limitations on indemnification pursuant to Sections 8.1(b) or 8.1(e), as the case may be) that may result from such Claim, then the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to undertake the defense thereof at its expense and through counsel chosen by it (subject to the Indemnified Party's reasonable approval). In all matters concerning the holders of Shares by virtue of several liability, the Stockholders Representative shall give and receive notice and otherwise act in all respects on their behalf. So long as the Indemnifying Party is defending any such Claim actively and in good faith, the Indemnified Party shall not settle such Claim. The Indemnified Party shall make available to the Indemnifying Party or its representatives all records and other materials required by them and in the possession or under the control of the Indemnified Party, for the use of the Indemnifying Party and its representatives in defending any such Claim, and shall in other respects give reasonable cooperation in such defense. (b) Failure to Defend. If the Indemnifying Party, within a reasonable time after notice of any such Claim, fails to defend such Claim actively and in good faith, the Indemnified Party will (upon further notice) have the right to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such Claim or consent to the entry of a judgment with respect to such Claim, on behalf of and for the account and risk of the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnifying Party shall thereafter have no right to challenge the Indemnified Party's defense, compromise, settlement or consent to judgment therein. (c) Indemnified Party's Rights. Anything in this Section 8.2 to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) if there is a reasonable probability that a Claim may materially and adversely affect the Indemnified Party other than as a result of money damages or other money payments, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to defend, compromise or settle such Claim, and (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall not, without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, settle or compromise any Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the Indemnified Party of a release from all Liability in respect of such Claim. 8.3 Payment. The Indemnifying Party shall promptly pay the Indemnified Party any amount due under this ARTICLE VIII, which payment may be accomplished in whole or in part, at the option of the Indemnified Party, by the Indemnified Party setting off any amount owed to the Indemnifying Party by the Indemnified Party. To the extent set-off is made by an Indemnified Party in satisfaction or partial satisfaction of an indemnity obligation under this ARTICLE VIII that is disputed by the Indemnifying Party, upon a subsequent determination by final judgment not subject to appeal that all or a portion of such indemnity obligation was not owed to the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall pay the Indemnifying Party the amount which was set off and not owed. Upon judgment, determination, settlement or compromise of any third party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall pay promptly on behalf of the Indemnified Party, or to the Indemnified Party in reimbursement of any amount theretofore required to be paid by it, the amount so determined by judgment, determination, settlement or compromise and all other Claims of the Indemnified Party with respect thereto, unless in the case of a judgment an appeal is made from the judgment. If the Indemnifying 38 Party desires to appeal from an adverse judgment, then the Indemnifying Party shall post and pay the cost of the security or bond to stay execution of the judgment pending appeal. Upon the payment in full by the Indemnifying Party of such amounts, the Indemnifying Party shall succeed to the rights of such Indemnified Party, to the extent not waived in settlement, against the third party who made such third party Claim. 8.4 No Waiver. The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver by any party of its rights to indemnification hereunder. ARTICLE IX DEFINITIONS 9.1 Defined Terms.
